I am confused by the term ‘affordable homes’. I initially I thought people were talking about building council houses to rent.
I lived in a council house all my childhood. I believe that what was gained by selling off council housing stock was at a cost to poorer families like mine and placed an added burden on social housing services.
You can’t turn the clock back but there must be a better way to provide those on lower incomes with a decent place to rent. As you know housing is not all about numbers.
