Human nature is pretty vile a significant percentage of the time. There is no hope of that fact changing, much as we would like it to.

Many of the locals don't want a new house - they want to stay where they are.
They aren't being given that choice.

The sad fact of life is the fact that this country is going to the dogs and bulldozing itself into the ground in more ways than one - that is fact!

FWIW. Dampness within a structure does not cause a real problem, only with the decorative finishes. Rising damp, (God bless it) will not lead to an unhealthy environment.
Building Research Establishment showed that very little water is contributed to an occupied environment from damp substrates in comparison with that produced by normal living activities, breathing, cooking, etc.
So a bit of rising damp, severe or otherwise, is NOT a reason to condemn a property whatsoever!
Sorry to mention Building Research Establishment (BRE) since I know stuff from them has been recently involved in some arguments over rising damp.
But rising damp is no reason to condem a building!!
It can *readily* and easily be assessed but does need a bit of lab gear and time though.

I agree - but the ODPM is the one which needs to be told!
It gives rising damp as a reason for demolition in Liverpool... however, I've spent an interesting day comparing facts, figures documents and what certain politicians have claimed in the House and on radio abot Pathfinders demolition figures and either they don't know ars*s fro elbows or are manipulating the truth...
