Used to be a lot cheaper, but not any more.Originally Posted by Anglo Irish
A house sold in Warrenpoint for £1.8M (€2.5M) the other day? £1.8M in Warrenpoint? Are you quite mad?
€250,000 (£175000) will get you something decent in a nice area, but it won't be a mansion.
I really don't see why certain people have automatically presumed that there would be a problem if a southerner moved into a loyalist area. Nor would I understand the mentality of someone who would claim that if an English person moved into a republican area, they would have problems. The bottom line is: live where you want, visit where you want. Most people don't live their politics anyway, and even those who do couldn't care who moves into the local area. Why people hacve suggested that the lower ormeau and shankill would be no-go-areas is beyond me.
I wouldnt live in Belfast, hate the place.
One thing you will realise is the vast amount of southern reg cars, southern taxi drivers etc.
Go to the hospital and you'll hear southern doctors everywhere , go shopping and you'll hear southern accents everywhere.
I wouldnt worry about being from the south in Belfast its hardly unusual.
Belfast is a dump no matter where you're from or where you stay.
It looks nice at night, just dont look at the place in daylight.

If that's your attitude you may stay where you're at...
We are all born mad. Some remain so.
And I, Antonius Block, am playing chess with Death!
I work in Lurgan in a factory full of republicans, the man i work with is an ex-soldier who moved here during the troubles.
He tells me he loves this place and the people are the nicest he's ever met.
He's a great laugh and I've no problem with him, he's almost 60 now.
I'd have a worse opinion of the north than him, but in reality people keep their politics buried and rarely voice their opinions.
I always notice how polite people are here when i return home from holidays, crime is actually quite low in the north and its a lot safer than the grim news would have you believe.

Steve, you do realise you're responding to a thread that is three years old and where you actually just gave the same answer as a good few pages back?
"The thing that always annoyed me about traditional Irish historiography was the paradox of its Anglocentrism. People are now prepared, I think, to confront the possibility that many Irish problems are, in a sense, indigenous to the Irish situation." Roy Foster (1989).
The first thing you'll notice up there is how well most of the towns & villages are kept.
Less rubbish dumped along rural roads. Most of the people are pretty decent, too.

It was in the latest discussions section and it was dolsdbf2 that replied to the thread tonight not me.
Anyway Belfast has changed a lot in 3 years, its now a slightly lesser hole with similarly nice mountains around it.

2006 ? Well, Holy God...Steve, you do realise you're responding to a thread that is three years old and where you actually just gave the same answer as a good few pages back?
Maybe the people back then can hear us. Shall we tell them or let it be a surprise ?
