If you knew what you are talking about it would be good ,there is no subsidy from council tax or any where else ,the only difference between my rent and the private rent down the road is the profit margin ,council rents across the country are set using the private sector in the local area as a level .

Despite repeated requests no one has managed to explain how rents are subsidised ,because they are not .
