Okay more. How does an unmarried guy in his mid thirties have a commission home? They only give those things to families unless you've been on a waiting list for a million years. Okay, so he knows someone who works at the housing commission. It's not actually called 'the housing commission', probably hasn't been called that for twenty years or so, but that's what everyone calls it. He knows someone who works at the local office of the Department of Housing. And they fudged a few things so he could get a commission house.
Plot. I dunno yet. Still digesting.

I have a friend who grew up in a commission flat. Her mother migrated here in the 70s straight into the commission buildings, and after 20 years or something was able to buy it from the government. My friend was 25 when she moved out, it's entirely possible your character inherited it as my friend will from her Mum one day.
Maaaybe. I want Slater to be a bit of a grifter though. And I wanna make the 'friends helping out friends' stuff important.
