'supported living for challenging youngsters' being built next door.

[getyourselfchecked]

NC for this as could be outing. This is more of a WWYD really. I am at risk of sounding like a right NIMBY and I hate that its bringing this out in me but...
I am a single parent about to move to a new house. Building work has started on a 'supported living for challenging youngsters' development right next door.
Now, I have lived in some of the most gang-riven areas in the country without a thought but in my old age and with a child I admit I am worried about crime, drugs and ability to sell house on. I love the house and everything else is good.
WWYD? Still proceed with the purchase?

This is a genuine post, I don't have many people to discuss this with and I have never worried about house values etc in my life! I am genuinely surprised at my reaction to this.

We discussed people's behaviour on here at length long after I thought it had died a death, hence the comments that seem 'irrelevant'

I get that the OP might be concerned about the financial aspect of it. Surely there's a way to discuss it without making negative or derogatory comments about the youngsters that may live in the property.

I'll point out the OP states it's not even built yet. I wonder if she has checked to see precisely what type of property it is going to be. There are numerous scenarios that it could be, all with pros and cons about it.

Flinging about words like nuts, crazy, and so on isn't really helpful, nor is being nasty to those who might point this out. Honestly, is it too much to ask people just to be a bit considerate?

Some people have children that they spend half their childhood worrying their child may not be able to live independently and are frightened about how their child will be treated and/or perceived by those they will be living next to or those they encounter. Is it too much to at least try to remember that regardless of your opinion, these are still people, with very real problems?

Sorry? Not everything is aimed at you navy

Thanks ginger!

Touché navy

Did I say you? Or was I talking about myself?

Touché was to the agreement about cunts by the way

ginger did u get my message?

How did you work that out? I have chronic anxiety and paranoia, not out of context at all. I DO find terms like butter and mental offensive hence why I pulled up that poster in a non judgmental of critical way. And yet you start again.

No. just a sec.

Butter?!

Nutter.

So now you're telling me what my words mean?! Well thanks for that, how have a managed this long without you.

And you're wrong, HTH.

Youre not stupid, you know what words you can use. You were being facetious.

And it's beyond me how you can deny that you weren't being deliberately goady and facetious for asking such a ridiculous question. But there we are.

I never said it was about you. HTH.
