‘Social housing provides a facsimile of the security that ownership creates: it is missing the foundational feature that makes ownership transformative across generations.’ this is such a socially blind comment in an environment where house prices are now out of reach for the majority of two generations with no sign of the situation getting better any time soon for those that need it most that it really beggars belief. Every western economy following the neo liberal economic principles brought in under Thatcher and Reagan are experiencing the same problems of increasingly divided society's an ever widening wealth gap, lack of social mobility, and decreasing tax revenue as profits are off-shored.
