Anyone know when we are going to get some social housing built?

After 20 years I'm getting fed up with paying someone elses mortgage. As a matter of fact, I have been made redundant and I plan to go on social, get a flat and get the rent paid. I'm not going to shift till I get some action.



Maggie's poll tax screwed me, turned 18 and that b***h brought that out. Done me in for 15 years. I have worked all my life and still single. Couldn't get a mortgage because 5 times my wages didn't hit the cost of a flat. Had to buy furniture, then get rid of, then buy again as I moved in and out of properties. Have slept in car, caravan, broom cupboard etc. Had private landlords going though my things when I've been at work. Have worked 3 jobs simultaneously to try and get savings, annoys me because you have to pay basic rate tax on other jobs. There is so much more I would like to say, but I won't bore you.



Anyway, after speaking to the council the other day, they tell me that I probably will never get a council property. Well I'm sorry but that's not good enough. I refuse to pay somebody elses mortgage any longer, why should I pay there's when I can't get my own! Housing associations supposed to be doing the job of the council aren't interested with dealing in prospective council tenants. Most of the property they have available are for ';Key Workers'; only (police etc). Which is daft because they earn good money and can afford to rent privately. The government new build home buy scheme where you get the first year rent free, second year 1.5% rent on price of property and 3rd year at 3% capped is only available if you earn over 拢40.000, EH (Daft). It's the people on low wage that need this option. Government like to talk, ';we do this that and the other BLAH BLAH BLAH';. In reality, RUBBISH.



Unless you're married with 2 kids your shafted. Bloody country pisses me off, well no more! I apologise now for all of those of you still working, but I've just had enough. All I would like is my own place, with a sensible rent (would love to buy if prices were sensible) and no private landlords, had enough of them! Government can pay them, but no more of my money.



Well, until I get a place from the council, no more work from me. I'm going to get them to pay for everything I can until I see some action.



Sorry, but that's how I feel. 20 years and still struggling. You can see why youngsters don't try, when it's so far out of your reach why bother trying!Anyone know when we are going to get some social housing built?
i lived in a camper van with my husband for three years while we saved for a deposit for a house. we parked where ever we could around town which is not easy in this yellow lined no parking country . but we managed fine once we got used to it. we had a nice boss at one time who let us park in the works car park and run a wire through the window for our electricity. he was happy because he had us as nightwatchmen in his car park. ive got a lorry driver friend who does the same thing. his van is in his works car park and hes very happy in it. its not the best solution i know, but most single people are in the same boat as you are. its just impossible to buy anywhere and the council wont give single people anywhere either.Anyone know when we are going to get some social housing built?
A pillar of society. Instead of blaming everyone and everything around you and demanding they all pay your way (aka becoming part of the problem), why don't you help yourself out of it and become part of the solution.



It sounds to me like you are british (or under the british socialist government).
There is a shortage of Housing because of the immigration of 2.35 m people since 1997.



Its cause ';cause and effect';
