Debate House Prices

This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.
We'd like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum. This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are - or become - political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.

If the amount of HB paid is irrelevant and it helps relieve pressure on the stock then I guess it doesn't matter.
It is cheaper to move the under-occupiers into private rented and move a larger family (who would otherwise be in private rented) into the vacated social housing, as that way round the govt pays (less) for a smaller private rented home.0 -
It's criminal to expect two people to work at minimum wage and struggle to bring up a small family, buy a home etc, whilst others can have children on the state and never work. People need a reality check. Anyone on more than minimum wage on benefits should do some sort of work for 40 hours a week. There's plenty needs doing.0
