    Social Housing is not a thing of the past Howard.

    RSLs (Registered Social Landlords) are gradually taking over from local authority housing - council housing around the Country.
    The tenants have the same security of tenure as council tenants, the same rent rate agreement so they can't go up too quickly or by too much and in many if not most cases, the acccommodation will be repaired quicker and probably to a higher standard.

    And the rent still has to be paid !!

    I think (and Sue will correct me if I'm wrong) that 2009 will see the cost of council housing being more than the net income and Decent Homes standard (which really isn't that good) costing more that the Housing Revenue Account can afford.

    All social housing tenants are looked after very well, probably better than those living in private rented housing under unscrupulous landlords, whose only interest is getting their rents.

    Sue is working hard to address this anomoly, but it is an uphill struggle.
