Sixty-eight flats in £2bn luxury Kensington block to be given to Grenfell Tower families | |

Quoting: The Deplorable Nicomachus  But hey, look on the bright side. They won't be living in the hard working, blue collar, middle class neighborhoods. All the wealthy libs crying to bring them over, I say let them live with the rich. I heard George and Amal Clooney just had a mansion built--maybe they can house some of them too. |

Since they didn't work for and earn such a nice place to live most free loaders end up destroying pretty much everywhere they live before they leave like a plague of locus. Quoting: Shamrock007 I saw a picture of the Grenfell Tower lobby. Mattresses and shite piled up - and that was after millions had been spent on new kitchens, bathrooms etc. No wonder it caught fire so quick |
| marooned User ID: 70666044 United States06/21/2017 10:44 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: The Deplorable Nicomachus So in America we have this program called "Section 8" which is basically the government paying for poor and lazy people's rent. The gov can turn virtually any rental into section 8 on a whims notice. These welfare leeches live off the system, YET they ALL manage to have a giant UHD TV, a leather couch, a BMW or Cadillac with giant rims in the driveway. I know personally because a few years back I went with an agent to view a potential rental that was no longer section 8 but still had section 8 tenants. The house was ok from the outside but in total disorder and not maintained. Inside, they had a 60" 4k TV (when 4k just came out) which probably cost $7000 or $8000, one big leather couch and no other furniture. That's how they live. My daughter is renting a penthouse in Chicago while her house is under construction, million+ apartments with gang members living in a few. My father owns a few rentals in Manhattan on the UWS. One of buildings he owns apartments in has apartments that go for $12M+ and it was entirely a luxury highrise until DeBlowmeoh said "no we need more low income people in this building." He ended up re-zoning a 10th of the city to low income. Long story short, the building had celebrities living alongside ghetto rats of the lowest order and now these celebrities are either no longer residing in this building or have sold, forcing down rates by 30%. Several apartments still are on the market after 3 years. That's unheard of in that range for NYC. Yet Hollyweird wants us all to hold hands and just be happy, as long as they still have their gated, high society houses.  |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 74895505  United Kingdom06/21/2017 10:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I walk past those flats all the time and was thinking, who that fuck is going to spend 1.5m on a studio flat around there, shit view of the shit part of high street kensington, I miss the old home base that was there (like home depot for us brits but a bit shitter and cheaper). Most of them are probably already bought up by the chinese and russians to be left empty.... Good luck to them |

Quoting: Tess. The Standard can reveal that new flats in a Kensington High Street development — where penthouses go for up to £13 million — will be used to provide permanent accommodation for families following the huge blaze that destroyed the tower block last week. [link to www.standard.co.uk] I posted in the main fire thread earlier that one victim was on the radio moaning that he'd only been given £5,500 cash to help them out. He said "my TV cost more than that." yeppers, . .there goes the neighborhood. now just the hood. perhaps the most expensive ghetto in the world. |

They will be responsible for property tax and something similar to an hoa fee. Neither of which they can afford. Paying rent is cheaper. |

It will come to be found that Kensington and Chelsea council are responsible for the fire by using crap flammable materials. Sorry but I'm not racist. tangoman55 |
| deplorable scottfree User ID: 38552208 United States06/21/2017 12:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its starting to look that way. The so-called luxury accomodation will look like a slum within 2 yrs. I do feel sorry for the lives lost and the people who've lost everything, but, the councils never seem to find accomodation and propertys for people who also need homes...eg. young working british familys, they are expected to get ripped off by slum-lords!, the more i hear and read about london, the more i hate it!, infact most cities in the uk, all the councils are corrupt, they are happy to help "refugees" and ethnic minoritys because the get more government funding and they are afraid of being accussed of being racist!. This country needs a giant kick up the arse!! That's exactly what you're getting now... up the arse!
