Another symptom of the #HousingCrisis: councils spent £300m on hotels/B&B. Clearly better value for tax payer to build more permanent #SocialHousing. 40 years ago - 6m social homes in UK. Today just over 4m - but population grown 10m - bonkers! #ukhousing https://t.co/96ZpuaVmLA
Stark reminder that generalisations about housing are meaningless and unhelpful. Latest ONS data shows tenants pay average 27% of gross salary on rents in England. However this masks massive regional differences: it’s 49% in London and 23% in the north. https://t.co/dkhJeEoBpW
