David Cameron to announce extension to right-to-buy housing policy, back to the policy that caused the crisis? Options

[On the edge]

Equitable - from the tenant's point of view yes. Proportionate - no, nor do I think giving a right to buy housing owned by housing associations is equitable or proportionate.

I'm with Andy C on this one. If you want to exacerbate the housing problem this strikes me as a good starting point.

It's so predictable what will happen

1 Loads of houses will be sold out of the affordable rental market - many pretty quickly.

2 Replacements will trickle in, probably at no greater rate than they are being built at present - so the availability of housing association properties will fall.

3 In order to pay for it housing associations will apparently be forced to sell their more valuable properties - which will be the ones built under recent planning rules within private developments. So the trend away from social housing ghettos will be reversed.

In essence, you are all agreeing that this is a pretty dumb policy - I'd go along with that!

Somebody must think it's not!!

Quite clearly, there's lots of talk about politicians 'being in touch'....

Already banned in Scotland & Wales predictably, due to their sad leftish views.
Unsurprisingly we hear that the Great Leader Sturgeon's parents took advantage of it,
before it was verboten
