    When my family moved to melbourne, mum bought a great flat in a great block. We lived there for 13 years (mum and little bro still do). Only downside; one of the flats was rented out to the DoH. I know not everyone in govt housing are bad people, but over the course of my 13 years living there, there is no way I would rent your flat out to them, sorry. We have had drug dealers, bashing, police there at all hours. Our property was stolen and damaged. The owners of the flats were the body corporate, we got new gates and a new driveway put in; gates were smashed by 'friends' of the people in the DoH flat. It all came to a head with some people going upstairs to a neighbours flat and bashing her son who was visiting from Japan, right in front of his wife and 6 week old baby. You will have no control over who comes and goes. I'd go with your bro's friend, as at least you will be able to have your bro visit and you will have that piece of mind. Hth.
