Not at all. Renters are only ever likely to own their home if their financial situation improves to the state where they arguably don't have a need for social housing.

Social housing stock should either be replaced 1-for-1 for every one sold or they shouldn't be sold at all as it removes the stock for people needing to add themselves to ever lengthening waiting lists for one.
