“As someone who was born into social housing, I have always seen it as respectable accommodation for respectable people, not an investment opportunity wasted on people so feckless as to have born without family money.
At what point will someone realise that a city cannot function unless the people who make it liveable have somewhere to live? “
– Jeremy Hardy on the need and the value of social housing
