Convert Dublin Port to Housing

We have a housing crisis. If only there was a large area of land, in the centre of a city, facilitated by public transport.

This article sums up the idea:

BENEFITS
- Easy Luas connection (the Red Line current goes to the Point);

- Located in the centre of town (environmentally efficient and in furtherance of the 15-minute-city prospect);

- Beside an existing shopping centre with a large potential for growth (the Point contains large numbers of half empty shopping units);

- Well connected to the airport (Dublin tunnel);

- A large area of land pleasantly located (beside the sea);

- A better use of the land (it's currently either a through-fare or a de facto car park);

- Precedent exists for such a conversion of land: https://nordregio.org/sustainable_cities/fjordbyen/

- Relocating the dock could reduce economic disparities (think of the local economy that could spring up wherever it is relocated);

DISADVANTAGES
- Compulsory purchase order likely needed (but the common good necessitates housing);

- Economic cost of relocating;

- Lengthy process of determining a new location

- Hotels would love the idea.
