You say that, but I doubt there would be many who would want to live next door to 200+ social housing tenants. I’m sure many of them will be good people fallen on hard times, but you’re going to get a cross section of tenants who aren’t.
It’s a short term fix that will cause long term social problems for the area. There’s a reason they dont put all the HomesWest houses in one suburb.
I wonder how much concern there would be if they were planning to house the poor people in Balga
If?
The argument that short-term suites are not really suited to long-term living is fair. Do these suites have proper kitchens with ovens? Laundry nooks? Or are we going to have a shared laundromat on the ground costing $20 to do your weekly washing?
The rest is pure Nimbyism. If the government actually adapts these dwellings for safe and stable housing, it can only be a win.
