Moral standards in decline isn't necessarily due to just one class of people in my opinion. I think that as we live in a society based on economy rather than welfare and wellbeing for all, in other words self fulfillment, there is an attitude of 'if i can do it then so can they'.

People who live in houses that are not well kept could be very ashamed for all you know, but how many people in those houses can afford to properly maintain a property, or want to do work on a property that isn't theirs?
Some people living in housing association houses probably do feel ashamed of their circumstances, but perhaps rather than not being houseproud enough to maintain their home, theyre too proud to put the money they're being given to live on back into a house thats not their either. Just trying to think of it in that sort of perspective, because if your being given government money and then putting it all back into the property your living in owned by them, then what actually do you have to call your own? Aren't you not just part of an indirect economic institution rather than one of welfare if that happens?

I mean, obviously a lick of paint wouldnt be enough to reach this viewpoint, but often some houses are badly in need of a lot more than that, and there are many places locally and probably in small areas in every county, that have houses that look terrible, but the government dont want to put any money into them, because its easier to make the local employed social group think its the tenants fault for not funding upkeep of the house, but basically thats just the governments way of telling the working people that the unemployed should just pay all their welfare back into the system effectively.

Anyway, I was up extremely late last night and that may not actually make sense, but I hate the idea of just blaming the people who live there without considering that there could be more to it than that.
