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?  |
Come on you're a smart guy, it's not that complicated, if a house builder is demanding a minimum of 20% profit before they'll build a house they are artificially inflating the price of the houses they do eventually build as they're not building as many and you were saying that you think it's ok for westminster council to break the law by not enforcing housebuilders legal obligations to provide a certain percentage of social housing because they might end up being occupied by a neer-do-well, completely ignoring the fact it's more likely to be occupied by someone like a very good friend of both of ours.
