My last entry, I feel, was unfair to Wales because as it happens every county has the same local criteria. Which doesn't make too much sense since county councils are funded nationally. You must apply where you have a 'local connection' or where you work. To add to the nonsense I either have to involve a social worker or sign up to a website to swap council properties.
Soci
That would be a good heading. A little too high brow for this blog. Maybe one day I'll write about that stuff. I have to rely on social housing -not completely because I earn a pittance. I could probably afford market rates for rent. I just cant find any accessible properties to rent. Hopefully I'll get help that wont result in me moving from one council estate to another council estate.
Why not just rent privately?
Private landlords probably wouldn't want to let to a disabled person because of all the 'hassle' of adapting the property. Also private landlords can just decide not to let a property which wouldn't be a huge problem if I was confident of being able to find properties to rent. If you know of any Bungalows for rent in North Wales. Please get in touch with me.
Why not take out a mortgage/rent to buy/etc?
My life expectancy means that I probably won't be around long enough to be a secure investment. I may try this route anyway. There are an unbelievable number of incompetent people in work.
Plans
I've mentioned before my plan to design a home. I read an article today about this (designing a garden city). Yesterday I read this(creating 3d worlds from old maps). I should be doing those sort of things. I need to finish my house design. I keep starting new things and not finishing things.
Next entry I plan to write about the ideas presented in this blog that I found interesting.
