| Comment | no we stayed there, there's a housing association office next to kelvingrove park. the issue is that to an outside observer there doesnt seem to be any council flats because there arent any going. there's a queue a mile high which can only move forwards when someone moves out cause they cant acquire new properties due to the insane prices, they can only dish out the ones they already have. My mum got in in the very very early 2000s when it was a different story due to finnieston being kind of a shit hole. I also know people who live in council owned kelvinbridge tenements, but theyre even fewer and far between cause i think THAT housing association had to sell off a few at one point to keep afloat. people underestimate the amount of people who live in these areas who arent posh and actually generally fall under the poverty line because unless youre already living there you cant really get a foot in the door (especially as they prioritise people who already have council flats for upgrades when they have kids and whatnot over new clients, which is a problem but at the same time a necessity unless you want a child being raised in a 1 bedroom flat) |
