Councils now sell off more houses than they build https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/mar/26/councils-sell-off-more-houses-right-to-buy-failure?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
I asked my dad (an architect in 1950’s UK) how Britain built houses after the 2nd world war he said - local authorities were allowed to obtain 65year mortgages at which repayments were covered by the rental income - it became self financing.
Current gov will not allow Local Authorities to do this now why not?
