It doesn't matter what the experience is, it's the law, funny how you seem happy for some to break the law but not others

What? I honestly don't know what you are talking about. I'm not being difficult, or trying to score points, I really have no idea.

You
would be .
Your description has nothing in common with what I'm describing in Woolwich.
My god, you really are that obtuse, I'll spell it out for you:
In Woolwich, developers were forced to build social housing next door to the luxury flats and houses that they wanted to build as a condition of getting planning approval. Woolwich is a toilet, with a 'challenging' mix of people living there. The more 'challenging' ones were obviously housed in the social housing new builds and since they were confronted with 'wealth inequality' decided to 'redistribute' some of that unequal wealth that they could see across the road.(and still are/do). This obviously doesn't apply to your, seemingly comfortable, social housing area but it is of real concern to (off the top of my head, I'll recount a story) a female who moved from Devon, to teach in a school in SE London, rent a flat in Woolwich online and then was confronted with the reality of living across the road from certain sub sections of society (who would look at your 25k van with interest as well).
(and I'd question why you are in a council house if you're in that comfortable financial situation
)

So nice and steady housebuilding does it?
