Find out what % of an estate is social housing

Why would it matter?

Any particular reason you want to know all your neighbours personal information?

In a way it doesn't matter because councils are buying houses in estates at a rapid manner so it's only a matter of time and they'll be all around you

Social housing is everywhere now. Better get used to it.

No it doesn't have to be accepted, in fact it needs to be reviewed and the practice of X amount of social housing in private estates stopped. Plenty of space to set up a new generation of ghettos for those who want a free house, I don't see why they should be getting accommodation of a standard that hard working people have to pay through the eyes for

Census small areas data was published recently. You can probably get a certain insight into this question from that - it will let you know the percentage renting from a local authority or AHB. It won't include HAP tenancies though, for example.

You dont even seem to understand what social housing is.

Actually forget I've just checked back on some of your posting history. You just have hate for those in social housing and on welfare.

Carry on I'm not wasting my time conversing with someone of that ilk.

I am a taxpayer. What's your point?

Who's a victim? You are making no sense.

It matters.

If there's antisocial behaviour, which in the real world is more associated with high levels of social housing, then the estate gets a name and your house is worth less and less.

But you already know this....

I accept you're a working person whose salary is at a level entitling you to social housing. Fine. But you probably pay approximately 15% of your salary which is an absolutely amazing deal by today's standards.

Those on social welfare pay a nominal amount of rent - from the free money they receive, making the housing completely free.

Most people are happy for social housing to be provided to those genuinely unable to work - disabled, complex issues etc. But people are definitely not happy shelling out 5 to 800k to live next door to someone doing nothing. Yeah, not woke or PC, but reality.

Begrudgery and punching down, two things Irish people are world leaders in.

Are you suggesting that people living in social housing are particularly guillable or so easily led by others in their community that they all resort to anti-social behaviour?

I dont know how many times i've read on boards and other media that its necessary to house social tenants within 'privately built developments' to ensure there is less anti-social behaviour from social tenants. That's an outrageous slur on the many people living in social housing. The idea that social tenants need to live beside owner occupiers in order to learn how to live 'properly' is disgraceful and whoever came up with that excuse to stop building social housing should be ashamed.

That's just those jealous begrudgers. Personally I couldn't care less what the person next door paid or didn't pay for their house.

has absolutely no affect on anyone else whatsoever

Rumour has it they are also very good at apportioning anecdotal labels when confronted with facts.

yes

ghettoisation is a thing, its not a new idea. spreading social housing throughout a development is a much better idea that clustering them together

Are you saying that people living in every social housing community in the country are living in ghettos?

Why do you think large social housing estates are any different to large privately built developments? The SH buildings are not of a lesser standard, people living in SH have access to the same education system, health service, job opportunities, sports and other cultural and community activities. No matter where people live they usually have the same aspirations to live a happy peaceful life. Imo anyone who thinks that people who avail of subsidized housing are living in ghettos, and should be housed in a more costly house to prevent them falling into a life of ASB, is seriously arrogant and condescending.

Where did the rough reputation come from and what opportunities do you mean? I know many schools didn't encourage students to go to third level in the past but that wasn't confined to SH estates.

Agree that those who engage in asb and dodgy people come from all walks of life and all areas of the country, so why are entire SH estates constantly labelled as rough, ghettos, and generally undesirable places to live when problems are from a tiny minority of residents.

If any local council built a 100+ unit estate of SH today, do you think that people would not want to live in those properties just because they were built by the council and not a private developer? Or that those people would be better people, or live a better life, simply by living adjacent to an owner occupier? It's an absurd notion. Anyone who thinks that some areas (and really they mean the people living there) are undesirable or inferior or defective or flawed in some way and need rescuing needs to lose that attitude.

I also believe that labelling children from a young age by calling local schools 'Deis' is wrong. How is it helpful to tell young children that the area they live in and their community is socially disadvantaged and deprived. Even ads on tv are at it at the moment - look how great we are providing free nutritious food through Deis schools to kids who need it most - pretty disgusting saying parents in those areas are not taking care of their kids properly. No issue with any organisation helping local communities but don't demean those receiving the help and then brag about it.

No, it doesn't effect the price of my house, particularly as No one even knows the ownership of the rest of the houses.

Oh, and just to correct you, it only takes one or two families in any area to cause chaos.
