Trying to point out to local authorities that, no, 75% of £260k is nowhere near affordable and that this level of house price is anyway undesirable, simply draws angry faces that won't listen.
Not surprising; their mates are 'social housing' developers, privately owned by ex-council staff, providing rental housing to poorer people. It stinks.
