I have no problem with anyone living in social housing but to say that they are paying the same amount as would be charged for an identical property in the private sector is highly questionable in view of the way council approved rents are calculated using the Affordable Rents Scheme.

Your example leaves 20% profit above the council rent for the private landlord ,if you take that profit off any private rent you will find the rents very similar ,simply because the private landlord will use similar methods to set their rent ,they will use size of property ,location of property ,value of property and how much rents are set in the area. There simply is not any subsidy
