OK makes sense.. but these proposals are more on the lines that every ten years the council tenant will basically be means tested.. the higher the income the more likley to be told to leave.. to my mind this policey will turn the whole notion of council houses/flats into more like temporary accomodation for low incomes...and that will stigmatize a fairly high proportion of the population.
After WW2 (no matter the rubbish some want us to believe) Britian was even more skint than we are now.. but families needed jobs and homes..thousands were built and thousands of jobs created, this policy worked.. and like I say this mob are determined to reverse any good done over the last 60 years
