i'm no expert here, but i'm fairly sure that the majority of people living is social housing aren't doing so 'free'. generally it is the cheapest, nastiest accomodation possible at a more affordable rent
these people generally provide essential services that most of us would struggle to cope without, they're the bin men, the street sweepers, the child minders, the nurses and the generally underpaid underclass who struggle to get by while doing jobs that none of us want to do.
If housing prices hadn't been allowed to escalate to ridiculous proportions over the last 40 years these people could probably afford to buy their own houses, but the greed and money-grabbing of those in power, the developers and those who paid £40,000 for a house 25 years ago and now want £400,000 for it are pricks

My point was not in regard to those working on a low income. Read things properly before posting.

My point was not about those with jobs.
My point was about those who chose not to work and expect the state to provide for them.

that you understand the difference between "miners" and "minors" and then use the correct spelling.
Avoids misunderstandings, you see.

Read my post carefully (let us know if you need any help with words of more than two syllables).
"if you expect the state to fund you"
At no point have I said that those with jobs should have to relocate.

implying that you had assumed the majority of those in social housing were on benefits
i wonder what the ratio of unemployed but living in private property to unemployed in social housing is? i bet that would be an interesting statistic

That was rather good. I feel justified in claiming you were not a complete knob all this time.

supply has been limited, deliberately in many cases, in order to increase prices

They choose to build slowly so prices don't fall on increased supply, and profits suffer.

population increase and immigration are things the government is aware of and rather than set targets to ensure that adequate development took place they restricted development, as did the developers so that instead of building many houses at a cheaper cost, they built few and charged extortionately for them
