No, they specifically claim that "If everything had risen at the same rate as housing our lives would be untenable." which is nonsense.
You're being a bit pedantic you know what they mean. "If anything else had risen as much as housing" might have been a better way of putting it
I don't think the lack of adequate housing is a problem caused by Thatcher introducing right-to-buy. There were (and are) whole estates of inadequate council housing too, and before the war, all those inadequate slums. Far too many people have always been denied access to decent housing - it's the one bit of the stats I had no argument with.
That it was shit before thatcher doesn't mean she's not responsible for it remaining so.
When I lived in Germany, I once looked out of my lounge window and could see 4 naked people. Two of them were even leaning out of their windows in order to chat between floors.
The horror, the horror!
Anyone can be naked. You don't need to be rich to exhibit your nakedness
