No, normally either expected to stay with parents/friends or in hostels
paid for by the DSS. And your point is?

It has no point. Unsettled just has a compulsive urge to post - even when it
doesn't know what it is talking about. It cant help itself.

From what I can gather it has existed on sci.physics in the past under a
different alias, but it wont say which one that was.

Im not surprised. That would seem to suggest their previous ID was an
embarassment. Not that this one is much better of course.

About the long waiting time for council housing in the
UK these days was snipped

The point under discussion is that they get to live in
subsidized housing. So where's the incentive for people
that poor to work hard, save money, and buy a house of
their own?

The starting off point which led to this little excusrion
is that for most people saving money and buying a house
takes a certain mindset. The Marxist-socialist opposition
has held that minimum wage earners can never hope, under
any circumstances, to be able to acquire enough money for
a down payment.

That Marxist-socialist viewpoint has been blown to hell
in this thread.

So why is it that public assistance homes are so hard to
come by in the workers utopia called the UK? Do you have
a plethora of poor with insufficient dunding to look
after them?

I wonder if you have anything like our section 502 loans
there in the UK?

"Eligibility Requirements: Applicant family must:

* Have an acceptable credit history
* Have an adequate and dependable source of income not
exceeding 80% of the county median income
* Have repayment capacity to service any existing
obligations and the home loan request
* Be without adequate housing
* Be a citizen or non-citizen admitted to the United State of
America for permanent residence or on indefinite parole
* Have the ability to personally occupy the home on a
permanent basis
* Be located in a community with a population of 10,000
or less (selected communities with a population between
10,000 - 20,000 are also eligible)"


"Fund Availability and Maximum Amounts: Funding is based upon an annual
appropriation. Loans may be made for up to 100% of the appraised value.
The Rural Development loan or portion of the loan may be subsidized
based on financial need in order to show repayment capacity."

http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/id/502.htm

BTW, the interest rate can be as low as 1% APR if that sort of
subsidy appears to be in order.

Offhand it looks like the USA does better than the UK for our
minimum wage earners who are intent on advancing out of "poverty."
It looks like if they move out of major metroploitan areas and
apply their proverbial nose to the stone to get ahead, they have
a good chance of achieving what has come to be called "The great
American dream" easily enough.
