Assume for this question only that counsel for the applicants tells you in passing that access to water is not the only problem experienced by the community of Nature Grove in this case. The community have also been waiting for new housing in terms of a Redistribution Programme (RDP) launched by the provincial government 10 years ago. This new housing development has never occurred and when the community has sought feedback from the government on when the government will start with the new development, community leaders are informed by the government that there is no money at this stage to realise new housing in the community and the government's available resources have already been exhausted on other building projects.

This issue is not before court but it has gotten you thinking about positive duties and reasonableness regarding the state's housing policy.

Provide any 5 characteristics that speak to a state's housing policy being reasonable with reference to the case of Government of the Republic of South Africa and Others v Grootboom and Others 2001 (1) SA 46 (CC).
