I think what Gary might mean is the people who lost their homes due to the recession of the ,80's, high interest rates etc (some of these were people who took advantage of the Right To Buy Scheme).
At the same time, council houses were being sold and building new homes was halted, meaning less affordable housing was available to rehouse them.
Having said that, it was nowhere near as bad as it is today!

I think it may well have to come to this and not just because of the financial cost of such lifestyles. There are social, behavioural, medical and legal issues at play too.
