You would say that.

But if they are under-occupying it, surely they are blocking the housing market for the next generation and should move to a smaller house. They might even free up some equity so that we can all save on some of their means tested benefits, like pension credits.

And yes, I did see the programme where the overcrowded family got priority due to overcrowding, the couple in the uninhabitable private rent got re-housed because their home was uninhabitable and the couple with the flat they couldn't afford found a cheaper private rent. But I noticed that none of the people featured got any priority because they were unemployed.

Yes thats right but you forgot to mention the bit were the fella from the council said he discourages people from putting there name on the waiting list because he knew they would never get a house.

I said this is what has happened to people i know and you said i was a liar or my friends were liars.

You also said this doesnt happen because the council want as big a waiting list as possible so they will be awarded money to build new build houses.

I see. So you don't want people to work hard in order to buy anymore.....



....... You want the taxpayer to fund it for them. Does that mean you would be happy to take their under-occupied house off them now that owner/occs are parasites too?

Yes people will still be working hard to get a deposit together and i would be quite happy for my taxes to pay for them to be in a council house rather than a sponging scumbag.

And for the second bit........??????????????????????????????????????

He said that any applicant without priority would be unlikely to be re-housed and described it as "managing expectations". I didn't hear him say it had anything to do with employment.

Working hard to save a deposit? With zero housing costs? What's your next bright idea? Increase the cost of a road fund licence to £1,500 so that little Jimmy can afford the insurance on his BMW from his paper round?

So where are the next generation going to live when all the council houses and private rents in their area have gone, this is the point im getting at, if people cant afford a house in their area in the future then they will have to move to an area where they can afford a house.

If they wont move to another area then what is there option.

You seem to think this is a new thing it has never been possible for a person on a low salary to buy in the area where I was born that is why I moved away. But people still get council housing even though the stock has been reduced considerably by right to buy. Houses become empty for various reasons and people do downsize if given a suitable alternative. If they can’t get a council house some people rent privately and claim LHA.

You said people are not told not to bother putting their names on waiting lists.

I said it did happen.

You enforced what you said by saying councils want big house waiting lists.

I was called a liar.

Council housing should be awarded - and kept - based on "how nice" you are... how nice you are to people, how considerate, how nicely you keep an area, how crime-free you remain, how you don't throw loud parties or abuse neighbours.

Nice people should be housed just because we need more nice people ...

So can you tell me what is wrong with somebody who works hard for a living being given free council housing so that they can find it easier to get a deposit together for a house of their own. i dont see a problem with it, the money is being wasted on scroungers and i think the country would benefit more if a hard working person was given some help and a scrounger wasnt.
