........and? So what? Are you honestly suggesting that people on benefits should expect to live in the
same quality housing (ie. location/build quality/same quality mod cons) as someone who is self funding and actually paying their way? Where is the incentive to work harder/get training etc & how is that fair on people who earn a 'decent' wage?

I don't think that this is any good for society as a whole, particularly with all the hot air that polticians spout on about "The Big Society", " Social inclusion" etc.

Oh please.

Thats not being ignored, we
all acknowledge that more houses need to be built, price bubbles aren't good etc...but the fact (that you ignored in my post) remains: Private rents are
very closely alligned to the other rents being charged in an area which in turn are spookily closely aligned to house prices, mortgage rates, tax rates etc. It's almost as if rents are dictated by external financial forces, not simply landlords whims
