yes, that would be far better.
Unfortunately, it's not what the current govt of Landlords is doing.
Nor is it what has been done in the last 40 years here.
But ppl need homes now and that grant was the way first home buyers could hope to compete in an investor's market.
If it was removed as social housing was built on mass, and profits were taxed, my opinion would be different. Right now it feels like ditching the lifesaver without rescuing the castaway from the raging ocean.
