Starmer being compared to Enoch Powell now.

Re: Starmer being compared to Enoch Powell now.

One sold council house is one less for a council to provide for others in the future

So of course you benefitted

It's no either or when the next person on the list gets told somebody has bought the council house they hoped to get and there's no place for them

You said it twice but I still fail to see how I benefitted,
I left home at 22 so lived in council accommodation for 16 years give or take a year, if having a roof over my head means benefitted then I'm in a large group of the population including yourself. Would you like to expand benefitted ?

Re: Starmer being compared to Enoch Powell now.

When I left home, my mum and dad were still paying rent I often had to hide and pretend I wasn’t in when the rent collector came. Since then, I’ve only lived in two homes, both with a mortgage. Benefitted? In your dreams sunshine. The Salvation Army gave my mum and me shelter when I was born, we were homeless. I wasn't born in Bristol because my mum fancied a weekend trip to the mendips. You don't know people via MB posts sonny.

Was working in Courtis rd a few weeks back Heath, Then up tp Marcross rd, where i was born. I really like Ely.

If a council house is sold then that removes a property from the list

The people that buy it benefit as do their family in the future unless it's resold back to the council

People who don't have an opportunity to get a council house no longer owned by the council .....?

They in many cases don't have a roof over their head in the first place

It's a win win for those that buy and a no chance at all even for a home for those left

Re: Starmer being compared to Enoch Powell now.

Was working in Courtis rd a few weeks back Heath, Then up tp Marcross rd, where i was born. I really like Ely.

My mums her sister gave her rooms to come back to Wales. Courtis rd. was our first home as a family, but we did live with mums sister for quite some time before going to Ely, it's my earliest memories of my childhood. (rooms in Roath) but then being a little older i remember quite a bit of the spent time in ELY simply, everyone had F**ck all, generally it was safer times back then and St. Fagan's woods was the goto place where all us local scroats would go to cause mischief especially in the summer months, I very nearly came a cropper in the River Ely, I should have learned to swim 1st !!!! i'm no different to many going on about the good old days and for community stuff they were, especially i think if you lived on an estate. But having to go to an outside bog in the middle of the night pissing down with rain, blowing a gale to have a shit wasn't that great!!! on weekends we went to my nans and i was tin bathed, double dipped my my cousin :hehe: hot water from a geezer, carbolic soap that had just been used to clean Grandads arse, I believe that we went to the village where my wife was born on an away trip to Leicester, cut off from anywhere she had it a lot worse than me. But it's almost lunchtime so no more on that :hehe:

So the plan was to expand cardiff by 100,000 people with all the new builds to the north west off llantrisant rd from Radyr to st Fagans
And around cyncoed/llaneydern/lisvane area, aswell as lots of brownfield sites around the centre. How many were council houses? I’m sure an estate just by ikea are all council houses. Surely they must have built a few thousand? Wages are high with most couples bringing in at least £50k between them so houses are affordable at 5/6 times salary….

25 percent of new build have to be low cost affordable ...I think

But that doesn't necessarily mean " council "

Most rented housing these days I think is built for housing associations who have to provide most of that to people on council waiting lists

Building 3 and 4 bed family homes on big new estates makes money for the developers but it doesn't obviously cater much for smaller households , childless couples , single people etc
