Well that's capitalism for you

Thatcher basically privatised the social housing sector and this is what we are left with

If people are appalled by this then blame the selfish gits who voted Conservative in the 1980s

It will take 20 years of investment in social housing to turn this nightmare around

There was a post war concensus in housing policy and although mistakes were made such as some of the high rise estates it was accepted that low cost housing for rent and sale was needed

Along came the Tories, ripped up protected rent ......this is where you are paying huge market rents to private landlords ! ......and sold off council housing .....Great for those who got a house from a huge state subsidy ........a nightmare for those left scrabbling and squabbling around for what was left

It's not the fault of the Welsh government , they have stopped the sale of council homes
