Take the amount of people no longer needing social housing to be the same as the number of people suddenly requiring social housing. If the number of council/housing association properties remains the same, then the people who no longer need social housing (through deaths, moving to better areas etc) end up having their properties taken over by those who need them.
Suppose you sell off, say, 1000 homes and don't replace them. That means there's 1000 homes less for those who suddenly need to apply to live in social housing.
Again you are wasting your time with feedback
Bristol city council had nearly 50000 council homes before Thatcher came in , after the right to buy , the houses on the nice estates were sold , dramatically reducing the city's social housing stock , malpass talks about it in great length in his book on the subject
Let's take Cardiff .......the council has say 20000 council homes , 15000 are sold
You still have many people on the housing waiting list due to increasing population etc
But now the council only has 5000 houses left to cope with the demand and those houses that are left are the poorer quality ones , in the less desirable areas , that nobody wanted to buy
Hence stock of social rented housing has been reduced and that which is left is of poor quality , meaning people in housing need are all thrown together , creating ghettoes of poverty in-between the nicer council housing , which was often sold for a nice little earner during the property boom
One landlord in London has about 300 ex council houses that he has bought and now rents them out for profit , getting rent from those unable to live anywhere else
Fecking disgrace

Non sequitur.
If you sell off 1000 homes you reduce demand by 1000 also, as those former tenants no longer require social housing (as they own their home).
The total housing stock doesn't change, the total number of occupiers doesn't change. What does change is the legal owner.

Let's say Cardiff had 20000 before the sell off, with a demand of say 23000. Therefore the demand for new housing would be 3000.
Now if 15000 were sold off the total social housing stock would fall by 15000 leaving 5000 social houses. However as the total demand has dropped from 23000 to 8000, and because there are 5000 social houses, we still have overall demand of 3000.
Now whatever metrics you wish to apply (e.g. population growth) would apply irrespective of ownership. In other words, it doesn't matter if the population grows because any increase in demand will be equally applicable in both situations.

Which bit of the simple , like for like equation I have given you don't you understand ?
Not only has the selling off of council homes reduced the stock , it has also meant the quality of that which is left is poor
I mean are you suggesting a professor of housing policy at a major university who has written extensively on the subject is wrong and you , an accountant , are right ?
Why don't you e mail him ?

Not a dicky bird yet.
My wife has expressed her concerns to our doctor who told her "if you don't get it no one will" which is a bit of a mixed blessing to be honest!!
She has only just come out if UHW after a six week stay and the physio were greatly concerned about her mobility which should help.
I'm worried that she may be in again before Xmas.
Ho hum.
Sorry for deviating from thread people.
Can't be bothered to mess about with PM

Re: True socialism is the answer
It makes me laugh when right wingers bang on about Corbyn’s alleged terrorist links when we have a Tory Govt backed up by the ****ing DUP

Re: True socialism is the answer
Corbyn's answer to everything is to throw money into it. No wonder so many voted for him. If I was a student who was offered free tuition fees why would I vote for anyone else? However in the real world it is unclear where the money is going to come from for things like rail privatisation, buying out of PFI contracts, higher wages for public sector workers etc etc. Taxing business and the wealthy simply doesn't work. Indeed lower taxes for the wealthy bring in more tax. Socialism doesn't work and has in some cases resulted in economic bankruptcy.

How did the socialist Govt fare from 1945 onwards do you think? Was it socialism or capitalism that bankrupted us in 2008?
