By your own admission you work full time, earn good money, good enough to afford a mortgage though at your age you have no desire to undertake... Which is totally fair enough.

The whole point of this thread is the proposal that those in your position will no longer be allowed to benefit than a lower than market rent for the size and location of property you live in that may be charged by the local authority against a private property.

You've skirted around the issue pretty well insisting you pay " full rent" as demanded by the LA but been a bit more sketchy around whether that constitutes the market rate for the size and location of you council property.

I'm not an expert in the field but I'm pretty sure that council properties are cheaper than private rental of the same standard, otherwise what would be the point?

Therefore if you can afford to pay the private rate you should pay it. By all means stay where you are, but pay the full rate so that the extra can help some poor sod who can't.

If you complain about that, then you are morally - exposed.
