No , what's happened is a lot of retired people bought their four bed council house , which previously was lived in by an entire family and there is increasing demand for social housing ........as these units have not been replaced people are forced into the insecure private rented sector or in bed and breakfast

As for the single people in housing need , again the nice one and two bedroom flats were sold , the less desirable flats left for the council to rehouse those left
