renting and buying in Ireland

I thought of another intriguing fact about the Irish culture. They really don't like renting. They would rather beg, steal or kill than rent. They call it "dead money" and only students rent while at school. Now the average person makes £28 000, but property in Dublin is over £100 000. No one can truly afford a place of their own by themselves, but they do it anyways. Now buying property outside of the Dublin area is way cheaper, so most first time owners buy in the surrounding area.

Now if you compare that to our culture where renting is just another option to buying...it just shows you how different we can be.. I've already spent close to three hours trying to upload 60 photos and now have opened a new album for the other photos. I am hoping it will go faster now.
