The nearby social housing residents are really acting up this week. Screamy guy was yelling incoherently at the neighbours with the disabled moaning kid a couple days ago and had a few flare ups. Loud exhaust guy has been around. And tonight there’s some male voice making repeated monotone “aah, aah, aah” sounds that have been so consistent that I thought it was a frog for a while. Mixed in with screamy guy. In a way I look forward to the cold when I can close my windows all night and not have to hear all this…
The housing first model is absolutely needed. Unfortunately Australia often stops at housing (if even doing that) and just warehouses people. So there’s a really bad mix of vulnerable people in with aggressive people or challenging behaviours, little to no support or oversight, and a lot of issues arise.
Basically I tolerate it until my safety is on the line.

The part I struggle with, is that I want people who are in need, to have a place to call home.
But what do you do when it comes with all these kinds of issues?
I think I’d struggle to cope.
