Different times innit. They're all being kicked out now of course but back in the days council housing was the standard option. I don't know how many people living in grim high rises in Barking in the 1980s would've counted themselves 'lucky' but it's some indication of how fucked the market is now that we all have that inclination to romanticise those times.

Lucky for the people you grew up with they managed to get a council house, most of us don't have that option.
