As the first new flats in the Heygate Estate are being finished it turns out that predictably there is no social house, no affordable housing, everything is being sold to overseas 'investors'. It's a shit show.

Whilst I agree it’s a shit show if you were CPO’d out, it’s innacurate to suggest there’s no ‘social’ or ‘affordable’ housing - there’s a bunch of shared ownership and a smattering of social rent properties.

But yeah very different to what existed previously.
