Wouldn't it be nice, if for once, the powers that be built a whole estate of Council/social homes? Before anyone has a tizzy fit and spits their tea/coffee out all over their computer, and shouts me down, please hear me out.
Because of 'Right to buy' the council house stock dwindled, leaving families nowadays having to pay astronomical rents to private landlords. I imagine there will be a few NIMBYs complaining, tough.
I don't know about most of you, but my kids can't afford to buy a starter home that's £200.000? The deposit alone will take years to save up. Youngests friend bought a new build up Weeping Cross, the mortgage is for 45yrs. House is a tiny 2 bed affair. Hardly any room for 1 person, nevermind the 2 of them.

These new council homes should also be exempt from the Right to Buy, keep them for those that are struggling, get people out of bedsits and out of the hands of greedy landlords.

Small edit: Put solar panels on every home, hopefully bring the bills down slightly.

I have heard these sort of 'profanities' spouted on more than one occaision recently. But ignorant, envious, individuals, should keep their greasy oik mits off hard earned gains. If we pay for our kids to get a 'top education", there are more places at scatty state schools! so they should look up to there betters, and leave our tax benefits and perks so we can carry on spending bilions so that the odd penny will filter down their way!
