Councils will also be required to sell about 5% of their remaining council stock. These most-valuable properties will only be sold once they became vacant, and once sold, councils will be required to build a more affordable, cheaper property on a one-for-one basis.
So basically "we don't want poor people in rich areas, put them all in their own ghettos where we won't have to see them".
What an unbelievably short-sighted, misguided fuck up of a policy. It totally misunderstands the current housing issues facing a large swathe of the population.
Given that the Tories are leading with this they obviously think it's a vote winner. How depressing.

Heil!
