Benefit fraud

Not entirely true. My parents were allocated a newly built council house in 1954. My father was a professional, a teacher. It was of red brick construction and had a decent sized garden. They were solidly built and insulated, in all the years we lived there you couldn't hear the neighbours. The house is still there, as good as ever.

And we seem to be going back to this model, where housing is redeveloped but offered at mid market rents to people who can afford the rent without resorting to housing benefit, rather than to social tenants who would have much lower incomes. E.g.

That may be a great outcome for the people being targeted - nurses, firemen, policemen and women, but not so good if you're a carer or nursery worker (don't meet the £21k - £39k per annum salary requirement). Or worse, unemployed.
