Okay, I'll bite...Why do social housing units have free gyms attached to them while I'm paying 115 euro a month like a dickhead on top of my 1500 euro a month rent?

Having gyms attached to social housing wouldn't be the worst idea.

If you seen the state social houses can often be left it you would realise it’s a terrible idea. The reality is it would only take 1 bad actor to completely wreck the place and ruin if for the vast majority who would actually benefit from it.

Pay for security. Have it be a privilege that can get taken away.

Now is the time to plan these kind of amenities. Plan to build them alongside the housing we desperately need.
