If you wish to give chapter and verse on what was remarkably punitive

"remarkably punitive"?

EVERYBODY else has to pay more to live in a larger property, whether they
be in private-sector rented housing or owner-occupiers or just funding
the cost of their social housing themselves.

That is the point. Its the very people who are likely to be living in
houses greater than their need who are exempt from this legislation.

It is a "remarkable punitive" sanction against younger people who are
claiming HB.

Nope, those will still have the kids living at home.

It only affects those whose kids have moved out.
