Does your local government hate you?

Mine seems to do; despite being diagnosed in the area soon after they 'found' me housing on one of the busiest roads ever... despite being obvious I found noise atrocious and wanted in fact to get away from my previous one due to noisy neighbours, instead they left me to go insane alone in constant noise, so much so I ended up threatening a social worker since I thought I'd never get out, which seemed to work as I soon got another place but they also made a grand fuss about the threat. So, hey, as long as they can ruin people's lives everything's fine, just don't say 'bad words'... wtf.

Years I spent in objectively better housing after that, now suddenly I'm forced to one that has gigantic windows and light everywhere, I have constant headaches... so they went from noise to light this time now (although after years of not hearing them I'm 'back' to distant revving, blood pressure goes up every time), they're really trying to destroy me from all angles... doesn't even have a doorbell, no curtains or carpets, no hoses or possibly to install one in baths, once that room ended up with a solidly shut door too, and if I was on the wrong side I'd probably needed to jump from high up, risking some broken legs, if I didn't want to rot away unable to escape from a goddamn toilet. It's a horror house.

Oh, and to top it off they want me to polish the previous owner's dick, while my own stairs looked like - from the beginning, even before I moved in - someone vomited intestines. Makes me so angry I often I phone the person that forced all this on me and shout and curse.

Have you asked what other options they have? Money and availability may be a problem.

I think the other problem is almost all neurotypicals do not really understand what light and noise sensitivity means, or how literally they should interpret those phrases. I don't think they grasp that noise sensitivity basically means you dislike almost all noise. To them "noise" is just what's loud. So as frustrating as it is--and lazy on their part--I bet they would never think you'd have trouble in your new place, even though they know you are sensitive to noise and light. In my experience, the quiet and dark environments we like are boring and depressing to neurotypicals, and that also makes it hard for them to understand what we need.

They should know better though. I hope things improve for you.

I am sorry you are going through a rough time.

I think it is more likely that governments have limited resources and options for people. If they are finding you housing, unfortunately there are more considerations than what the best possible place for you to live is. They have limited budgets, limited available housing, limited time to put it all together, and many other people who need assistance of various sorts. It is probably not that they don't care, but rather that there is not a lot else they can do given their constraints.

If they truly hated you, they wouldn't find you housing of any sort to begin with.

Have you considered moving to another city or town? No one is forcing you to live where you do. Somewhere rural might be better for you.

Most governments both local and not seem to hate us

I agree it's unlikely that they actively hate you, more likely they just don't care about your welfare as long as they don't expect to get into any trouble for neglecting their statutory duties or bad publicity that leads to a drop in their support from voters. OTOH if they simply don't have the money to help, then even with the best will in the world they obviously can't. It seems to me there are only two sources of funds they can acquire - one is directly from central government, and in the UK that finding has been severely cut, the other is from local taxation, and I think there's a national law that caps local taxes in the UK. Certainly I've never known a council taxing soaking the rich above and beyond the national average to any noticeable degree. So I would think that ultimately the national government are the people who are ideologically opposed to redistribution and don't give a spit about your welfare.

Having said that, however cash-strapped the local councils are, I see no excuse for some of the things they do and don't do. They tried to fob my disabled uncle off with completely inadequate housing, but improved their offer after my sister pulled out all the stops to force them to. They stuck my grandfather in a first-floor flat with only stair access, when his emphysema made it impossible for him to climb stairs. You'd think it would have simply been a matter of explaining that to them to get an appropriate home, but that approach fell on deaf ears. It seems to me that the councils' way of keeping their spending down is to "try it on" by offering less than they should in the first instance, and then waiting - if they come under strong pressure from the claimant or their representatives to sweeten the pot, they buckle and hand over the goodies. As the most vulnerable people are the usually very ones who have the most difficulty with applying that pressure, it's the most vulnerable who are left to rot.

They also spend money on things that would seem less important than helping those in need. If we're really that poor as a city then we can't afford frills, because alleviating human suffering comes first. But they don't seem to quite get that.

I've also personally experienced them being high-handed, bureaucratic, inept and disingenuous. And the irony is, this council is controlled by Labour who are supposed to be all about caring for the vulnerable and making society just and fair. Sometimes they're OK, sometimes they're not. Follow the money and you'll be more able to predict where they'll co-operate and where they'll drag their feet.

There are many people who assume that 99% of "special needs" are faking it, and too many of them love working as bureaucrats. Rules are quite flexible, when people want to be either nice or nasty. Basically, they are trying to teach you to be polite or die. Or, you may be dealing with simple ignorance. There are whole armies of Dunning-Kruger cases who cheated their way through school and are now faking it on the job, lost if there is nothing to copy from. I can never really be sure if I'm dealing with malevolence or incompetence.
Years ago, I shouted at one cop. He soon helped in an illegal eviction, and I still can't get a security check for employment from them in Canada. My town does not respond to my requests because of local politics.

Oh, yeah, they have no money... but they have for rusted smiley faces! Like, stuff whose only usage is people drawing penises on them. That is clearly a priority. But, hey, when a prime minister can't even use a zip wire (besides being 'elected' by a tiny proportion in contrast to the population at large, thousands of years after democracy was invented) and thinks wrestling with a child makes him a hero... the world is s**t.

Yep. They don't want their taxes going to support other people, they want to keep that money for themselves, but admitting that would appear selfish, so they pretend that those in need aren't really in need at all, but simply sponging off society rather than doing an honest day's work. Yet when you look at it, why would anybody choose to depend on a humiliating, undependable benefits service if they could just walk into a job? Even if you get lucky and they actually hand over the money, it's not enough to live on.

I don't really think it actually hates me, or any of this other cartoonishly evil stuff some people say about it. I think it barely even acknowledges my existence, which is only slightly less bad than hating.
