[QUOTE="Whyayeman, post: 77669092, member: 415320"] More confusion ! The example offered of a description of the dreadful aspects of Vienna's social housing provision concludes with 'it's an excellent system especially for those who need social housing . . .' I don't know who else would consider applying for it, really, but if they didn't care for what was available it would hardly matter to them. And there is this: I think this demonstrates the weakness of ThatRobGuy's understanding of the intention of social housing anywhere; social provision is never intended as an alternative for working for the good things of life. In every country with social provision the benefits provided are designed as a safety net to protect its citizens from poverty and destitution. No scheme, national or local, in any country I know offers a subsidised housing that exceeds the actual needs of the client - because that would be just plain silly. [/QUOTE]
