No problem with profit making in the private rental market. Let market forces do their thing.
It doesn't really have a place in public sector housing though.
God knows how much public money is spent on temporary hotel accommodation and the leasing of privately owned properties.
Maybe I'm being naive but Councils should be as self sufficient as possible and as a result provide more jobs for the local population.
My council recently took rubbish and recycling back in house. The service has improved.
That's more clear and I agree completely.
Social housing should be based on non-profit and a whole lot more of
it is needed than is being done at present.
It's the current ideology of privatising everything, where it goes wrong.
