ORIGINAL: tj444 I dont know where dumb-as-a-rock Greta comes up with this shite.. the rents in Grenfell Tower were 2,000/month so whats that shite about it all being free? The building also had units that were privately owned so certainly not "free", in fact costing 250,000pounds 2 years ago and by the pics they were quite nice.. there may have been some subsidized housing as there were handicapped people and seniors living there.. those people likely died in the fire unless they were on lower levels.. More info on the building itself.. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/817026/London-fire-Grenfell-Tower-Latimer-Road-flats-rent quote:
The block is part social housing and part private, sold or rented out by KCTMO. It sounds like only AFTER the renovations, they started rented it out commercially for 2k a month to some people, but it's still PART social housing and it used to be a FULL social housing. Free housing for poor people! And you know how the UK free housing work? They charge you the rent, and the government gives you a housing allowance to pay for your rent, which will cover the FULL RENT, so essentially, you live completely RENT FREE!!! BTW TJ, if you read the comment section of the article you posted. All the British people posting on the article are now complaining about all these immigrants getting 2000 per mth rental places for FREE. The government gives them this 2000 per mth so they don't have to cough up the money from their own pockets, so that they can live for free. So YES, the government is giving them FREE 2000 per mth so they can live in a place worth 2000 a month. All these privileges for Muslim refugees. WOW! And your mom got help for 1 year. I was reading about people living in that Grendall for like freaking 17 years. That's 17 years of 2k per mth for free! And counting, I am sure they gonna get a replacement eventually. I think one of the contraversies in the UK lately is how the government is choosing top end property these days to give social housing to. So I was reading an article that, for example, if a person who isn't under social housing, have to pay out of their own pocket, 500k for a 3 bedroom apartment. But a person under social housing, gets 500k for FREE for the same block. Technically in that specific article, the social housing person is only required to pay 75pounds per week, for a home that cost 500k and have it all to herself. But of course, the 75 pounds per week is also subsidised as they get housing allowance. So basically, it's all free. If I was the taxpayer of that country, lawfully buying my own place and faithfully affording my rent without getting any help from the government. I'd be super piss off. I mean, I personally felt it was very important to own my own home, and I have fully paid my home by seriously cutting back on alot of spending to make sure I finish paying for my home in full ASAP and work my ass off for it. And these people getting it for free, would be like so ridiculously unfair. They should have to contribute a percentage of their salary to the housing too. But apparently they don't work, so no income to contribute.
