housing association trash
seeing another post reminded me of this

i've nothing again people who live in council houses or housing association houses, however there is a certain percentage of HA tenants who give the rest a bad name

namely those in HA gaffes because the council have kicked them out of council housing. You have to be a special kind of common to get kicked out of council housing.

round by us there are several absent landlord properties where the landlord turfs the responsability of filling said house to the local HA.

My mum and dad own our house and have worked bloody hard to pay the mortgage off, so imagine my parents annoyance at having the kind of neighbours who

bring chairs out the main road front step and drink rd stripe and carlsberg special brew from the can

have house parties with complete open door policies and have smashed windows on a regular basis... and play shit music until the wee small hours

let their chavvy, asbo holding spawn hang around and be a general fucking pain in the arse

our house was burgled by someone around the corner who lived in a house provided by.... you guessed it , the housing assocition (just lock the fucking druggie up)

i know these people have to live somewhere, but i see how their behaviour upsets the people inour street who work hard to pay thier mortgages

thank god phone calls to the police are free is all i have to say

sorry, rant over

I hear what you're saying...
Tell your parents to write a formal letter of complaint to the HA, and copy it to the local authority, get as many people in the street to do the same.
These bastards will commit revenge attacks, but only after they've been moved out and are someone elses problem.

thanks
i shall pass the word to my mother and my neighbour... this sounds more effective than the vigilante group suggested by the bloke across the street

*empathises*
i was told this week by the jobcentre that i don't fall into the right category to be eligible for free IT training because i don't live in 'a disadvantaged area' (i.e. the council/HA estates around here) and i'm not a 'disadvantaged candidate' (i.e. i'm not a registered addict or ex-offender).
i was raging by the time i left :(

makes you wonder...
if its worth being an upstanding citizen at all.

you get no thanks (or even help) for being so.

can you...
go to your doctor, explain the situation and then say that you have a serious caffeine / pain killer addiction (something innocuous)? If they refuse to take you seriously, sue the fuck out of them for discrimination....

appologies- pot kettle im afraid
fair point i do drink from the can/bottle as it saves on washing up- only recently dropped the habit as i live in a country where only bums and hobos drink from the can.

my point is that drinking from the can on the main road is the only thing they do

I hear ya
I try very hard to take pride in my property, keep the garden tidy...and several of the other people on this estate do, too, only to have it all wrecked by a couple problem families who are living here because they'd otherwise be homeless. The council is paying private landlords to house them.

We had a nappy land in our garden. Upstairs doesn't seem to understand what a bin is. It doesn't matter how much - or how little - time and money you have, DON'T THROW YOUR RUBBISH IN OTHER PEOPLE'S GARDENS.
