Obviously in order for money to be invested into something it has to be generated from somewhere. The government prior to that of Mad Margaret probably didn't see the need for large scale investment in social housing because they didn't conceive the plan to sell it off and not re-invest it back into the system - we have that deranged bitch to thank for that.
Nowadays if someone wants to build a new development they have to provide a percentage of affordable housing. That pair of vomit-inducing twats the Candy brothers have built a small selection of flats in Battersea in order to account for their percentage at No 1 Hyde Park. Outrageous behaviour - but if you spend £80 million on a flat, the last thing you want is Frank Gallagher pissing in your car park or Rab C. Nesbitt loitering outside the door.
