had to work for years to actually OWN their houses have some respect for
them.

She needs to move to a less pikey area. There's a 'social' housing estate
close to here - joint partnership between a housing association and the
council - and it's as well cared for as any private estate.
The worst kept houses in this street are privately rented to students,
etc. Massive hedge on one which is an eyesore. The only housing
association one I know of is very well maintained.
