For whom? Social housing was for those who couldn't afford their own housing, and that's how it should have remained. If people could afford their own homes, they shouldn't have been in social housing. I also watched people who had always been social housing tenants being evicted from their homes because they couldn't keep up the mortgage payments - my neighbours, people who had brought up their children alongside mine. It was not nice to see. I didn't then or now see any advantage in depleting housing stock and there is still the aftermath of it now.
