Public Housing should be STOPPED & SOLD

[ufo_investigations]

The government buys houses and rents them out to people at a discounted rate and the tax payer has to carry this burden.

Why is this so?   Governments should not be buying houses!

I'm sorry but we should not have government housing!

Complete waste money!

All government housing should be sold to private sector!

The millions of dollars raised from the sale will build better roads, freeways, hospitals.

Governments should govern NOT buy houses for people to live in!

The job of government is to govern not babysit people!

***** Dear State Governments **** Please SELL ALL GOVERNMENT HOUSES !!! ****

I am disapointed that I have to work extra time away from my wife and kids to support low life bludgers who are quite capable of getting a job and supporting themselves

In all fairness though you aren't workng specifically "to support" anyone but yourself and your family.  Everyone pays income tax where and how that money gets spent is generally not up to you...

Four years down the track and we have several mature aged men with varying IQ,s ( a couple are not the sharpest tools in the box ) and a woman who had to have emergency housing for her five kids, ( from different partners ), so jumped the waiting list and promptly moved her new de-facto in. We have had a few problems, but nothing too bad.

I firmly believe the three blokes who share one house, just would not cut it in the private rental market. They are just not switched on enough to manage the rent and keep it together. ( they dont seem to have dependence issues, just verging on intellectually disabled or very low IQ ) What are we supposed to do, leave them homeless ?   These guys definately need government funded housing.

The other family are just bludging on the system. They buy and sell used cars, know how to get out of bed in the morning and "do stuff" all day. The mum is pretty smart and would have no trouble at all of getting a job. Instead they choose to have lots of kids ( more welfare ) contribute nothing to society and get a brand new house ( much better than mine ) for their trouble.

The system certianly needs an overhaul and much greater scrutiny of who gets the houses. That does not mean we scrap the whole system. Some people just would not make it in the private rental sector.

Jealous of their house...... seriously?

I agree with some of what you have to say.....however you seem to be against women raising their children.

I realise I dont post on this forum often and so you have no idea what my views are.

I,m not jealous of a house. I am disapointed that I have to work extra time away from my wife and kids to support low life bludgers who are quite capable of getting a job and supporting themselves.

As for being against woman raising thier kids, you couldnt be more wrong. I have a number of friends who are single mums and juggle a part time job with raising their kids. Its not easy and I have nothing but respect for them. I also have friends who are single mums and rely on government assistance. Again it is very difficult as they dont recieve a fortune. 

 In the case of the family across the road, the wife probably has excellent employment prospects and is not that all that family orientated. On the other hand her full time, live in, defacto partner is probably less likely to get a job, but is great with the kids.  I am just not discriminating based on gender stereotypes. In this case the wife would be more suited to supporting the family and building a career than her partner.

If the bludgers where weeded out of the system it would leave adequate resources for those who genuinly need the support. At the moment there is not enough money and support for genuine people in need because too many others who dont really need help are leeching off of the system.

I am actually very passionate about assisting those with genuine physical and mental health problems, the elderly and single mums who are left to fend for themselves by their partners.

You posted your views....lol. And yes, your post comes across jealous.

If the man living in the house is not the childrens father..... he should not be their full time career. Not his position.

If the mother is intelligent, I'm glad she had 5 kids and is staying home to raise them.  One of them might just be your boss one day.

Nosy neighbour from hell.....lol.

Sorry, I'm confused.  Are these houses behind your place or across the road?  Not that it really matters where they are, it just makes it easier for people to understand what you are saying.

[chameleon54]

We have a road runs behind our house, They are opposite our back fence. Is this important or are you just trolling ????

[lurker172602]

Neither. Like I said, I was just confused.

For the last thirty years I have been my own boss. But yes you are correct. A couple of the kids are really bright, energetic, smart kids. I have got a lot of time for them. Its just a pity that they dont recieve any boundries or guidance from their parents as they are running pretty much wild, getting into substance abuse etc. Its heart breaking to see as they are great kids. If one of them manages to get out of the rut they are in and ends up being my boss in the future it wouldnt worry me at all. All power to them if they can achieve something like that !!!!

How do you know the children have five different fathers, were you there at time of conception ??

Sounds like gossip to me

Gossip which is irrelevant.

What does it matter who the fathers are?

10% of children have a different father than the person that they (and everyone around them) have been told is their father.  That figure transcends all levels of society.

We live in a lovely area with water views and next thing, a house is sold to public housing and we are now having to put up with housos of the very worst kind, I thank Julia for that, I hope she gets the scum of the earth moving in next to her or worse.

These cockroaches drink all day, don't work, and music blaring from dawn onwards. Smoke like trains and covered in tatts.

So do these people deserve a beautiful home subsidised by the workers of Australia whilst they live in the disgusting manner they have become accustomed to?

Comments from people who are in the same situation would be welcome.

[cherry*135]

House values in your area must be reasonably low, sea/water view or not,  for Govt to buy it for public housing.

No way where I live ( a lot of streets with sea views) would the Govt pay up to $1m for a house (land value only can be $1m in a lot of sea view streets) for public housing.

NSW - in fact they hardly buy any, more likely to be selling lots off instead.

[idlewhile]

The house was already built and I don't live in a low cost housing area, thanks for asking though.
