corner of hells wrote: » I work in homeless services specifically around supporting people getting housed , what's happening now is that when local authorities have someone to house they go through to estate management checks first to purposely identify problem family's or individuals . After that a housing association interviews the individuals or family to decide on suitability.The housing associations now charities/ngo independent of the local authorities and they have more power over selection to be housed and are quicker to deal with problem tenants. So to say you could end up living beside a problem family is not quite true.

When it was built in the 1970s and early 80s it was an "experimental" design where the dwellings faced little courtyards - it was modelled on a UK housing estate in Andover in England (which itself was a huge social failure) - anywho this design meant that was little to no "defensible space" where residents could monitor and curtail anti-social activity. Mix this major layout flaw with the estate slipping into being the most deprived in the country by the late 1980s due to the Surrender Grant and Dublin Corpo allocation policies and you have a recipe for disaster. I know a bit about how estate design can create social problems as I did my Masters Thesis on the evolution of local authority housing estate design 1930-1990.
