To be fair, I can understand the OP's fears. Nightmare neighbours ruin lives. And it makes me so *ing angry I can hardly talk about it. I am not exaggerating when I say that I've known two people (opposite ends of the country) driven to suicide attempts by the subhuman chavs next door. All over Britain there are good people who love their kids, work hard and do the right thing, but whose lives are ruined by these aseholes.
As for whether money can buy you freedom, well, maybe. It probably reduces your chances of living near the feral, hoodie type. But nothing guarantees escape. Unfortunately, the housing association can move a problem family anywhere. I knew a cancer surgeon who lived in a big detached house in the best part of town. The housing association got hold of another big house near him and turned it into flats. Within weeks, there were fights at 3 in the morning, dogs barking all night, cars with modified engines screaming and banging up and down the road. Awful. After a year or two of ruining everyone's lives, there was a fire and someone died. After that, the place was closed down.
Equally, you could move to the absolute worst estate in Britain, with the highest crime and drug rates, and somewhere on that estate you'll find lovely, kind, good people. Truth is, you'll find lovely people selling the Big Issue and sleeping in shop doorways.
I'm not wealthy, but we're lucky to be in a fairly quiet street out in the countryside. And yet as I type all I can hear is the screaming of car engines and the popping and banging of modified exhausts. You can't escape horrible, selfish, anti-social people anywhere.
There really ought to be open prisons for them to live in. The left seem to think money solves everything, that all you need to do is move them into nice neighbourhoods (so the poor little sweeties don't feel ''excluded'' and ''marginalized''), provide nice schools and pay out generous benefits and everything will be hunky dory. We all know it won't. Both the right and the left have failed to deal with anti-social behavior. I don't blame them. There's just nothing you can do with the worst sorts of people, other than stop them breeding. People with a history of violence and misconduct, who've got a track record of disruption and abuse, should be forced to live together with some kind of warden watching over them. If it was up to me, I'd also pay them not to produce children. And before someone calls me a snob, don't forget that their main victims are decent people on low incomes.
