I'd be more concerned about the 'social mobility' consequences from what I've seen of it. Every development has to allocate a certain amount of the built to social housing. What that means in practice is they can dump any cunt on your doorstep who isn't quite as advantaged as the ones able to buy. And with modern 'equality' , especially the type advocated by those labourites intent on rubbing diversity in your face knowing full well you don't want it, you could end up with any rag, tag and bobtail unemployed bunch of anybodies foisted on you village and woe betide anyone who objects. It's the ducking stool for them.Zambo wrote:Well I'm concerned for my village. They are building 3000 houses on the edge of it, which means at least another 7000 people, and another 3500/4000 vehicles, without having the infrastructure to cope. It's not just here either. There may not be a serious over-population for the UK at the moment, but it's coming. School places, insufficient GP surgeries/doctors, crowded A&E's, aging population, net migration/immigration. It all adds up, and the pressure is on all public services.
If you are going to manage the type of population increase that we have seen since 2010, we should have been planning the infrastructure a decade ago, but that is the general problem with most of the public sector they are always is re-act mode after the event, and would need to look up pro-active to find out what it means.
They built a huge one in Bournville some time back and gave four bunches of asylum seekers brand new properties. No fucking chance of course of the backward inhabitants ever getting a job and one lot totally trashed the place they had before. Then there are the canal developments in Brum where the same applies and you have people spending 300K on a house only to find next door are another bunch of unemployed wasters in social housing with ten unruly kids and no one speaks English or understands the rules on keeping the place tidy.
There's another one going up by me and I'm expecting the same shit to be moved in after the previous two not far away suffered the same.
I don't want to sound negative but you'd better start brushing up on your Somali, Arabic and Zulu.
