The Houseing lark



Now my serious friends (do you know friends means fri (fry) ends meaning just that) this is going back to the good old days of 80's where we had a lot of good times in the 'squats' (occupy (a dwelling) illegally ). Now the times are back in the near future. I know the landlords had a very fine time due to the laws passed by the Thatcher gov and promised to get rid of by the Blair gov but didn't; but the landlords will not have enough doss to make their illegal play.

"Vacant homes attract vandals and depress property values," explained Douglas Robinson, spokesman for NeighborWorks America, a nonprofit created by Congress to offer financial and technical support and training for community-based revitalization. "This negatively affects existing owners and reduces local property tax revenues. But very few homeowners walk away, although those who do believe that is their best option. Of course, trying to get a loan modification so that the payments are affordable is their best option.""

Don't tell me I am heartless but due regards to those who saved money and bought houses and rented them to likes of me; this is just action in the Newtons 2nd law. Hmmmm equal forces and all that....

And then again I see a different view. I remember the council members of this fine city of Bristol letting the best sites in the city be taken over by the homeless (me mates were them) and getting the homeless to damage the premises to such an extent the value of property in the whole area goes down; so that one of the councilors' cronies can buy it at a cheaper rate and develope them.

In this article it...... you will understand:

"According to the county prosecutor, the 31-year-old Snyder allegedly offered to pay a neighbor $5,000 to help her burn down her house and make it look like a botched rape attempt - all in order to claim $80,000 in insurance money. Snyder wanted the neighbor to bind her hands in duct tape, write "whore" on her shirt, and then help her escape once the blaze was set, the prosecutor says. The neighbor demurred, instead reporting Snyder to police."

"Homeowners have crunched the numbers and decided their houses are worth less than their mortgages."

Good I cannot wait until it hits the social scene here. The frigging landlords had a very good time in the past taking money for nothing from people who can least afford it; or you are homeless. I lived in a house where the landlord did not do any paint and decorating for 7 years but frigging cunt raised the rent from £400 to £750 per month.
