No doubt it has. However, I repeat, he was hardly going to come out in support of the policy.Originally Posted by gnasher wrote on Tue, 14 April 2015 14:44

I am not sure what you are trying to stay. Yes demand will still remain sky high if we sell off even more social housing...Originally Posted by The Local Boy wrote on Tue, 14 April 2015 12:37
We have a shortage of social housing, there is a massive demand for social housing. Why not sell it for its actual value and by using the numbers in your example we could actually build 4 houses for every 3 we sell. That way in 25 years time we won't still be talking about having a shortage of social housing.Originally Posted by Jimmy Jimmy wrote on Tue, 14 April 2015 13:53
you clearly said you're happy for the landlord to trouser huge profits off the back of those who have rented.Originally Posted by Eric Cartman wrote on Tue, 14 April 2015 15:16
the demand won't change though, it will remain the same. the answer is to build more houses but changing the legal ownership of the housing stock won't affect current demand in any way.Originally Posted by Eric Cartman wrote on Tue, 14 April 2015 15:18

Good article.Originally Posted by Croesy Blue wrote on Tue, 14 April 2015 14:50
I agree, however if we sell them for their market value we can build more houses than if we flog them off.Originally Posted by The Local Boy wrote on Tue, 14 April 2015 15:23
Exactly. Orr is non political. If the policy had made sense he would have defended it. His opinion should not be dismissed.Originally Posted by jon1959 wrote on Tue, 14 April 2015 15:29
And you can virtually guarantee that everyone throwing their hands up in horror at this policy would be the first to be moaning if an estate of new Housing Association homes were proposed directly opposite where they live.

What happens currently if a family who have lived in a housing association house - lets say grown up kids still live there - then mum and dad eventually die. What happens to the adult kids then ? - do they get to stay in the house or does the housing association take the house back - to give to another family
The problem with Thatchers policy there were no safe guards put in place.
So the tenant could buy the house and then move somewhere else - and then the same house back to the council - FFS
They could also sell the home the day after they bought it - at a discounted rate - which is also wrong.
Allow tenants to buy - but there need to be conditions attached.
At the same time the Localism Act s160 reduced the rights of deceased Council house tenants' families to succeed to the tenancy by removing the automatic right and (like the new rules for Housing Associations) leaving it to whatever the landlord agrees to put into the new tenancy conditions.Originally Posted by Jimmy Jimmy wrote on Tue, 14 April 2015 17:12
