If problem families do end up getting evicted I for one could not care less what happens to these nasty people who make life unbearable for the rest of us. I have had personal experience and those who worry about what happens to these people following eviction are obviously those who do not have problems with these nasty people, if they did suffer them then they would soon have a different point of view.

Living in the vicinity of disruptive tenants is a nightmare for many law abiding and respectable people, and removing these nasty people is a very good idea.

Steve Cooke opens the point. The area in which I live is unfashionable - arrays of terraced homes across the hillsides of the Pennine fringe. House prices have been historically low. I bought my stone-built end-terrace home outright for £5000 in 1999. It wasn't derelict, although needed some work. Three years ago, you could still buy a similar house for around £30k.
One result of that has been an explosion of buy-to-let properties with absentee landlords; many fail to invest in their properties while taking the rent from ill-scrutinised tenants. Around 75% of local homes are now rented. Half of those tenants remain for less than two years.
Eviction of problem families by Councils has its effect on this area and contributes to the breakdown of community. An example is that local policies of eviction for any form of drug-dealing oblige people to seek homes with private (and irresponsible) landlords. It is a counterproductive policy which uses the moral high ground to export the problem

When problem families are evicted, where do they go? Are they moved to another, previously untroubled area, so that they can inflict their nastiness on another community?
