I am puzzled by the terms ‘social housing’ and ‘affordable housing’ which are increasingly used as shorthand to refer to, I assume, housing which is neither anti-social nor unaffordable. And don’t get me started on the ‘cost of living’ nonsense.
A New Statesman article refers to a survey (pdf) which addressed the stigma attached to living in such housing. Unlike the drug crazed criminals presented in TV dramas it is (surprise!) mostly occupied by regular people doing, or having retired from, a regular job. All positively contributing to ‘the economy’ (whatever that is).
After a lifetime of avoiding the collective criminality that is ‘private property’ I look forward to the day when all housing is declared ‘social housing’ and ‘affordable housing’.
