"The greatest threat to your mental health and personal wealth. Naturally the lefties love the theory, as long as it doesn't happen next door to them. "
Why would it affect your mental health? Just because you have to live next to someone more affluent than you?

If you mean pepper potting in the term of mixing social housing with private housing im fine with that. That pretty much describes the area i live in now.
My only thought is why is it the only option? Just curious. |

In Reading, there is a nice area called Caversham. There aren't many nice areas in Reading, Caversham is about the only one. Can you imagine saving for years to finally afford to live in a nice area and then have the council move a neighbour from hell in next door who gets to live there courtesy of the taxpayer. |

As much as i pretty much disagree with him on everything including the colour of shite, i imagine he'd be pretty easy to live next door to |

I've got a friend who I visit from time to time who lives in Woodley just outside of Reading - is that part of reading? I thought that was a fancy area, I'm I just too used to Leeds? :P |

Woodley is so so, not bad, not epic. Reading on the whole is considered a chav town but the smaller towns around it are much more volatile in terms of prices and you could slip into negative equity. |

Has it been done before? I googled it and saw New Zealand. Was it successful?
It may be bad for a person but better for society. Gentrification at the moment is great for the area but are creating poorer areas. |

It's based on the theory that a persons circumstances have more impact on their behaviour than their own decisions in life. Ergo you change the circumstances and you can change the person. Obviously there are some successes but probably far more failures and vast misery inflicted on peoples lives. |

It's like in work if you cannot change a person you change the rules. |

Wow, I've visited Reading city centre and thought it was fairly nice, clearly I'm used to travelling about Leeds a lot. :P
Seriously though, we have a lot of poverty up here. My priority is finding out how to improve the lives people already have, rather than moving them about in a desperate hope that a change of scenery will improve their prospects. |

There are no easy solutions to complex problems like how to improve the lives of the poor up north. But equally it's hard to imagine a solution that doesn't involve more better paying jobs in the area. |

True the question is, how does a city like Leeds or Manchester, attract better jobs to the area? Many people want manufacturing, when manufacturing is only done in this country for specialist pieces. |

Hence no easy solutions. But since you ask i can give my opinion.
- labour basically want state capitalism which involves propping up shitty industries with money we don't have
- conservatives want to leave everything to the market, which ignores the fact that there is a lot the state can do to create the conditions for success. Other countries have governmnets that are better at fostering new industries. In other words they refuse to help any industries, even the ultra promising ones.
So both the major parties are border line useless. They live in bubbles and most still think IT is a hot sector to get into. If i were prime minister i would skew our economy to create the necessary conditions for the industries of the future to flourish; artificial intelligence, personalised medicine and cyber security. |

Out of interest how would you achieve that, as I'm on the same page as you in that I believe both parties are thinking short term and are either not in the know of what the future holds, or playing ignorant to it and in the process screwing the people over.
How do you create the environment as it where, to allow new niche businesses and industries to establish themselves and flourish. |

No silver bullets but lots of little things that add up:
- work with universities to make sure people graduate with skills relevant to the industries
- ensure businesses can get financing (the coalition government made a good start with the SEIS scheme) but the banks are still fucking useless even though the state owned 2 of them
- infrastructure, infrastructure, infrastructure - our roads are rated 37 in the world, that's pathetic and our trains suck too
- law. It's too easy for large businesses to put smaller businesses out of business by launching frivolous lawsuits that are expensive to defend. Stop it.
- help businesses export. Governments love the idea of british businesses exporting but don't want to put their hands in their pockets
- simplify the fucking taxes, its ridiculous
- legislation, there's too much of it, it's too expensive and risky to hire british workers on permanent contracts

Courtesy of the tax payer? Come on, you are smart enough to know that not everyone in social housing is in receipt of benefits. |

Some of them wear short shorts though and that's good enough for me to pay more taxes.
Sure I could pay less taxes but the middle wear those silly fucking half cut trousers, what a bunch of cunts, their ruining life for everybody |
