we're told that we have a housing shortage and that there are homless
people, but we have homes for 20k people arriving in the UK and we have
homes for them just sitting there waiting to be occupied where are these
homes ? We've had DIY SOS building home for a dozon or so 'war hereos'
and for every home offered that's one less for the polish or the
romainsns or the bulgarians or all the other EU and commonweath citizens
are trying to buy or rent.


In general, single people have always been expected to find their own
accommodation. Bedsit, etc.

Which is the problem with the 'bedroom tax' Very little council
accommodation built for single people or even couples. Most of it for
families. And when the kids leave, the parents end up with a house bigger
than their needs - and might well happily move to somewhere more suitable,
if it existed.
