benefits are not there as a subsidy so you can save your own money.

I always thought council houses were there to help people struggling to afford their own property , surely as soon as they have a decent job and earn enough they should go private rental or get themselves on the property ladder ?
agreed -i think council tenants assets should be regularly assessed and they should be moved on to private renting or encouraged to buy something for themselves other than cars [an alien concept to some]

Of course you would know for certain that those 'tenants' are in fact tenants and not people who own their house or have a company car or are living in social housing and saving for a mortgage ,it couldn't possibly be that you are generalising based on your own idea of what people should and shouldn't do

Fortunately most people don't share your enthusiasm to segregate the rich and poor ,even Osborne doesn't think like that

I've lived here for 15 years and the same people live in these houses , I even know some of them and they have a very, very expensive lifestyle some even owning properties abroad , it's obvious the ex council houses that are privately owned as there roofs haven't been replaced ;) , if they are getting a high end mercedes or bmw as a company car then I'm pretty sure they are in a decent enough job to buy their own house ;).

Gary for your information council rent levels are already set at local rent levels that include private rental properties ,in other words I already pay the market rate as do most other council tenants ,hence the enormous HB bill
So again I ask you how is my rent subsidised and how is it cheap.

if you pay the same rent as a private renter why don't you move and free up your much needed social housing you could also benefit from moving to a nicer area for the same price .

I knew you would say that you know them:rolleyes: ,

I pay rent to a private registered landlord that happens to be an LA ,I have security and a good job so the only difference between me and a private landlord is that my house is better maintained and I get a secure tenancy instead of a 6 or 12 month one in a crap hole the landlord refuses to repair .

Your prejudices are showing again .

My area is very nice thank you ,there are currently 5,000 private and social houses being built a few hundred yards from me ,all on the same site so I bet that really gets up your nose .....council tenants living next to private home owners what is the world coming to :rolleyes:
