    Turned down 9 offers? they should only be offered 3 and no more. I used to work in social housing and so called homeless can be very choosey.

    I have a mate who does still work in social housing and people really take the michael with their demands.

    Why is there such a hankering to live in Tower Hamlets? It's one of the most poverty stricken, crime ridden boroughs in London

    The family that have refused 9 properties should be moved to the bottom of the list. Fussy! :eek:

    Because they like to stay with their own people.

    Didn't they say something about a business deal gone wrong? It ruined him apparently.

    I was in a hoestel at 19 I got offered a flat but had to turn it down cos of personal safety reasons in the particular area I then got told if I didn't take the next one offered I'd be taken off the list entirely & be kicked out of the hostel none of the 9 chances bs & I'm in Sheffield so properties are no where near as limited as London. I took a studio appartment & I've been here 9 years now a home is what you make of it. They should be kin grateful for what they get ffs

    These people are so ridiculously finicky!

    I'm aware that I cannot understand and fully appreciate their predicament, but surely turning down NINE offers when your place is falling apart is ludicrous!
