there simply arn't the properties to move into so people have no choice but to pay the say £15 when they are already struggling
I've already pointed out to you there are large numbers on the waiting list as they have overcrowded housing, swap A with B.
There is also the expectation that anyone on social, should have a "house" to themselves.
If you have single people looking for 1 bedroom houses, someone else with two bedrooms and one spare, the answer seems self evident no?
Oh no, they must both have houses paid for by the state, pfffff.
miss a few meals or not heat your house when it needs it or go further into debt ---
--- yes your right there no consequences at all its all in my imagination i suppose
Yes, there are consequences of expecting free extra rooms, it means taking in a tenant (plenty of single people on social), or paying for the extra empty room.
You've got group C paying overinflated costs for a mortgage/rent on a 1 bedroom flat, then group B getting a 2-3 bedroom house for often 70% of the cost of the 1 bedroom flat on social, in some cases group B may actually be earning more than group C.
The entire housing market has been twisted and distorted by the way it is run.
typical off governments off all persuasions sell off the housing stock at knock down prices then blame the poor people who have no choice because housing costs to much
Those houses that were sold of did not vanish, there are issues with right to buy, but it's a small part of the pie. The MASSIVE increase in single occupancy dwelling, the frankly insane house price costs (many working people needing social, should be easily able to afford their own), and this isnt just an issue of supply, this is the relaxation of mortgage laws allowing huge market speculation.
