should people on benefits be able to live in rich areas ?





we are constantly told about discrimination,
the farct we are even discussing this point is a sad realisation.
the state is not provideing,
this is why the houseing stock is devideing.
land lords are simply reeping,
we are walking into a warzone, but sleeping.
if these plans go ahead, 400000 will be homeless,
guetto's will be created, now a bigger mess.
the conseratives wont mind, or even blink,
15000 will have to leave central london, i need a drink.
we still have to accecpt immigration,
there accomidation has to be met, with no building creation.
the soultion is simple, the govenement and cousil have to build,
rich and poor have to intermix, its only a fair playing field.
is it going to happen, suffering is on the card,
we can all see whats happening, and it makes it so hard.

(this was a debate on the wrightstuff this morning, it really got me thinking and i can clearly see what the con party are trying to do ? the question is can anyone else see it and will we let it happen ? ) or is the joe wrong on this one and in no way should any less well off people be allowed to intermix with rich people, you tell me ? )

No.

I am divided on this, but will keep it short.

I would say yes, but there should be certain limitations. For instance a person should not be made to move out of an area they have lived all their lives away from their family etc. I believe housing benefit will be capped at £2,000 a month from what I have read, or thereabouts. Seems a huge figure, but depends on circumstance and location. Most of the outcry comes from lack of available housing (apparently) whereas in a minority of cases, families are moved into large homes in expensive areas.

In my mind there is no question about class issues. The problem is that in some cases people on benefits are housed in areas such as Mayfair, London, for instance, in very expensive homes. Very rare I might add. This is due to "availability" and through no fault of their own. But I can understand views from both sides in certain aspects of this dilemma.
