Some of the other group you mention would count as being low paid as not all office workers, mechanics etc earn a lot.How would this work?
A low paid worker would be eligible for a nice low rent flat in Westminster (actual worth say £1million) but unemployed people or employed teachers, policemen, junior doctors, nurses, electricians, water workers, mechanics, office workers, builders, plumbers etc would not qualify.
Some housing association and charity social housing comes with your job. You change job then you have about a year to move out.Now if the low paid worker lost their job and became unemployed or became a teacher, policeman, nurse etc presumably they would keep their £1million property for the rest of their life.
Happened to a member of my family in London.
I was talking to someone about the different social housing in my area. Some of it has such strict requirements and therefore are always vacancies you wouldn't want it.Now I wonder if I was a young person wanting to live in London, whether I might consider it worthwhile being a low paid worker for a while.................I'm not cynical I'm realistic

Actually I have never once mentioned the unemployed, my point is that EMPLOYED people are being forced away from their jobs because of these changes. Many will face having to make the decision on whether or not they can actually afford to work at all with the additional commuting costs moving away will have on them.
And then employers will have the choice regarding whether they should increase pay or go without employees.
I don't see why the state should subsidise employers who are unwilling to pay an appropriate wage.0
