[2shoes]

live in social housing.
there are 2 now.
haven't people got anything better to do, than to slag other people of and judge then,
I live in a HA because there is no other type of housing that we can get, that has the disabled access we need. and we have a lovely van.
why do people judge others when they know fuck all about their circs???????????????????????

saintpagwatch it is like this but with tinted back windows

our income wasn't really taken in to accout(although we couldn't afford to move) it was more our needs couldn't be met in private housing.

LL - Nope, no criteria - anyone can ask -

BUT

asking ain't getting, and if there are thousands of people whose needs are considered more urgent than yours, then you will have a very long wait indeed. And you have to be on the list to be in with a chance, obviously.

in most councils, ll, you have to have a connection, a reason for wanting to move there, such as a job or to care for a relative.

and you need to be homeless in order to get housed through no fault of your own.

otherwise, you're welcome to get on the list.

but you may be on it forever, quite literally, before being offered any place.

if you are a private renter, and your landlord wishes to move you on - say, your lease is up and they want to sell, or they are being repossessed, many councils force your landlord to go to court for a possession order before considering your involuntarily homeless.

in england, it's legal to put entire families in B&Bs for a year or more before offering anything permanent.

tinted windows - get you !

i live in a HA home, and consider myself very lucky.

we were on the list, and then when dh left i was really worried. After renting privately for 2 yrs, a home became available.

why am I calling you riven 2 shoes?
any idea?
Actually wtf am I going on about?

Is it possible to be a bit pissed having not hads a drink all day?

I have to go and lie down

Yeah hats with th4 saint thing ladies?

we are all saints struggling with our burdens than no ordinary mortal could manage. Thats what.

The think that gets me is the belief that you pay peanuts for HA rent. We were lucky enough to get our house when they were cheap (it was a Loong time ago). I was paying less in mortgage repayments than my Gran did in rent.

ahhh
and veerily I am burdened.

that is why I drink.

Am I a Saint then? surely not!

Oh if only vodka were allowed on weightwatchers

Me and DP live in a council house, we cannot afford a mortgage, and to be honest I don't really fancy paying half of our income towards a mortgage either.
We have a secure tenancy, repairs carried out within a reasonable time etc.
Our street is pretty nice, I have lived in a mixture of bought and council propertys in my time and always feel more secure in a council property, there is always that safety net feeling, that if you were to lose your job (a distince possibility in these times) that you would get help towards the rent. But maybe this is because I have had to sell properties before because of bad financial situations, its good to know I won't have to uproot the family if it all goes tits up.
I honestly am really feeling for some of our friends just now with high mortgages and all the other price rises, I would be veery scared right now (but then im a born worrier)

Oh I love social housing. Full of lovely helpful people ime, and not nosy keep up with the jonses types
If people haven't got anything else to worry about, sod em

Hi, i'm new to all of this, i just wanted to say, i completly agree, others who judge without knowing ANYTHING about us are dispicable, i lived in a hostel for 2 years with my son who has severe autism, i had no choice but to live in that "hell hole" private renting in my area is stupid money, £1000 for 1 bed room flat as a single mum working part time i just cant afford that, sort of money, i lived in a council estate growing up and i wouldnt change it for the world, we were a little community.

Oh and Hello everyone, hope your all having good days

The majority of people who live in HA homes I am sure are decent people but unfortunately where I live there are houses that are housing trust and they have had problems with the people that live there.

Yes I agree, but you'd have to live here to understand.

that's not much of an argument is it?

where there are problems with ha areas ime its down to ha mismanagement

behind our last house there was a troublesome bunch of ha houses- wjy? because all the people housed there had been evicted for causin trouble in oter ha areas!

where's the sense in that fgs?

whereas no doubt the ha aeas they left were stunningly well behaved due to eviction of random prats

thats nothing ew; my dad's family were rehouased @ 1960; to an area where every family was large and troublesome

place got a massive rep and indeed hosted riots 20 yeas later

quelle surprise!

yet the council estate we lived on was old people and quiet types

(and yes dads family were indeed large - 16 kid- and a pita)
