Off topic, but in Holland they got so sick of antisocial social housing tenants that they moved them outside town in buried shipping containers. Apparently it's worked quite well and the tenants prefer it because there aren't neighbours phoning the police every ten minutes.

Holland's rowdiest housing tenants are being moved into steel container homes in a government crackdown on nuisance neighbours.
The reinforced houses, which resemble shipping containers, are to be built at sites on the outskirts of cities for residents who cause problems with noise, violence, drug abuse or untidiness.
"Nuisance neighbours" can be evicted from rented homes under existing law, but Dutch MPs say that this just shifts the problem onto the streets.
Politicians were prompted to find the fresh solution after a "neighbours from hell" television documentary, which starred the notorious Tokkie family, from Amsterdam, caused nationwide uproar.
The family's 20-year feud with neighbours has been marked by fights with baseball bats, guns and Molotov cocktails. During the show, cameras followed individual family members who live in a filthy, rubbish-strewn home.
At one point the family patriarch, Gerrie, 51, a tattooed, pot-bellied sewage worker who was the family's sole bread-winner, took to the street with a samurai sword to attack his neighbours.
His twin daughters, Natalie and Natascha, 21, had their own children taken into care. His eldest son, Wesley, 20, constantly claimed to be too sick to work while another son, Wimpie, 15, whiled away his life loitering in the local shopping centre. The fly-on-the wall show provoked widespread debate in Dutch society. The programme-makers were accused of glamorising anti-social families, while politicians were criticised for not tackling the problem.
The government turned to the container homes proposal after the success of a pilot scheme of four dwellings outside the medieval town of Kampen, in eastern Holland.
Each home has three basic bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, and is supplied with heating, gas, electricity and hot water. Tenants who cannot afford furniture are given financial help to buy items second-hand.
Members of the first family to move in were so dirty that local shopkeepers kept air fresheners to hand lest any wandered in.
Anette Schlueter, a city housing adviser, described the family as being of "low IQ". She said: "They defecated all over their house, even in their fridge. They had no idea how to use a toilet and kept lots of animals. You can imagine what the smell was like and what they smelt like when they walked around.
"They need constant help from social workers and they have to be told all the time what the rules are and to stick by them. That is why things didn't work out with them in the regular home but did in the container home.
"I don't think we will ever see them leaving, because as soon as they go anywhere else the problems resurface. We tried once and it didn't work."
The advantage of grouping socially dysfunctional people together, she says, is that they can be easily visited by the police, social workers, or staff from other agencies, such as the department of employment.
Rent on the homes, which are run by a housing association that specialises in looking after families on low incomes, is €250 (£170) a month. Other residents include cocaine addicts, alcoholics, former tramps and people suffering psychiatric problems.
Most appear happy with their surroundings. Hank van der Kolk, 50, a crack cocaine addict, alcoholic and the longest-serving container tenant, has erected a wall to screen him from the rest of the compound. He has also built a patio and carried out other home improvements.
"I can't remember being a bad neighbour. I was evicted after they complained about my drug taking," he said, inhaling his second pipe of crack of the day. "I get by on benefits, and to be honest it's not so bad here."
Jan Jrootjen, a 66-year-old former tramp and alcoholic, said his only complaint was about the two heroin addicts living next door. "They make too much noise, they are always playing their music really loud and get on everyone's nerves," he said. "But other than that it's great here. They tried to move me, but I refused. I want to stay here until I die."
Ms Schlueter said that the Kampen authorities gave the land to the housing association at a time when there were no other houses near the site.
Since then normal houses had been built nearby, but because buyers knew that the container home residents were there already, there had been relatively little friction between the two neighbourhoods. Residents in adjacent streets did not wish to be named, but one said: "My family and I were pretty apprehensive when we moved in here but the container residents are really no bother.
"They keep themselves to themselves and don't trouble anyone. Of course they are social misfits, but they get on with their lives and don't bother us."
Andrew Smith, the former Work and Pensions Secretary, said last night that the Dutch plans sounded like an interesting experiment, which should be monitored by the British Government. "We do need to take tough action against anti-social tenants," he said. "This Dutch idea sounds well worth having a look at to see how it works in practice."
