Dublin - Out of service - Part 2 - Rip off…
I have mentioned it a couple of times before - Dublin is just a fecking rip off city. No doubt about that. No wonder it ranks among the most expensive cities on this planet. And you know what? It really feels as if everything is getting even more and more expensive. I am in line there with Dermott Jewell, chief executive of the Consumers’ Association of Ireland:
It really doesn’t matter what element you use to approach and assess the city it has become expensive, it has stayed expensive and it will continue to be expensive
I mean - if sun cream costs twice as much in Dublin as in St. Tropez - what the f*ck?
More facts? Sure: Check this one: Grafton Street is the sixth most expensive street in the world! The Champs Elysées rank on position 3 and the winner is the 5th Avenue in New York. I am fine with Paris and New York - but Grafton Street!? No doubt it ranks there because of the extraterrestrial rent - but where is the flair? And it’s so tiny at the end…
Wanna visit Dublin? Its fun for a few days but also be aware of the fact that Dublin is the second most expensive place to visit on earth!
The astonishing study highlighted just how badly tourists here are ripped off, from the hefty price of a cup of coffee to the extortionate cost of essentials…
Right! That’s how it is… I am not touching rents now - I`ll keep that for a third part… But finally to put the cherry on the cake: Check this picture to get rid of the idea to ever buy a property in Dublin! Sorry for the bad quality but you will get the message!
