Should kids live in tower blocks?

My daughter was unable to get onto the council list, and was in an upstairs flat with 2 children for a long time.
She was poorly, and my youngest grandson was confined to the flat whilst she was sleeping or not well enough to take him out.
I think its reasonable that as she was born here, she should be able to access social housing, particularly in those circumstances.

MissAdventure you are fortunate to be in the position where your home is your home untill you die.

So gilly, council house tenants are second class citizens, they must not love their homes where they brought up their families, they mustn’t refer to the property as ‘my home’

This is the privilege of home owners ?

No Annie you should not !

My little bug bear is single elderly people being able to stay in 3/4 bedroom houses when young families are forced to live in tiny high rise flats.

The answer of course is to build more one and two bedroom bungalows . A win win situation .

If you were in a 3 bedroom house I would be turfing you out, Annie.
I know of a lot of people who have lived in these houses for years, and want to finish their days there, which is understandable, but then so is allowing families to live comfortably.

The same as a flat MissAdventure and there would be a lift.

I would like to ask all who own their homes and think people in social housing should be moved around, would you in all honesty want to give up your homes ?

Your mobility isn't so good though, is it Annie?
Everyone in social housing should live in somewhere appropriate to their needs, I think, and a bungalow is ideal for you, I would think?

If my bungalow had two bedrooms should I be moved into a tower block because I live in a council property?

Absolutely No! they should not . Speaking as a once upon a time single parent living with my son in an upper floor flat with no outside space, it is very depressing .

My DD has raised 3 children in a high-rise - more upmarket, but very small. They are in negative equity. Thankfully they have made a point of taking their children out and about into nature and parks at every available opportunity. I am very proud of how they have managed.

Its a knotty question, but I believe people should shift around into more appropriate homes when their needs change.
Lots of people don't agree with that idea though, and don't want to give up their homes.
