Irish tech influx creates Dublin housing crisis

The housing crisis among workers reflects Dublin’s business model, which is to entice tech giants.

The tech company Google is donating $1bn to create more affordable housing in San Francisco.

There, highly paid tech workers have helped create a housing shortage by making rents unaffordable for many other Americans.

A similar situation is unfolding in Ireland’s capital, where the working poor can not afford to rent.
