Which is lack of social housing brought about by most of the council housing stock being sold off cheap and the money not being reinvested back into local communities.
Who says that? You can pretty much do what you want with cooncil property. In a civilised world. ****.
Usual ***** talk: "If people never bought council houses, there would be council houses just now" Absolute bolox. The problem isn't that people bought their council houses, it's that there isn't enough houses in the first place. Solution is to build more houses, relax planning and get the Construction moving again.
Actually one moved out into a bought house 5 years before the act and the others stayed or swapped council houses until death. That house went back into circulation.
Like you said, to make yourself more comfortable. If you're gonna live there, why not have it the way you want it - regardless if it's the cooncil who own it. They reimburse you for replacement windows/bathrooms/kitchens if you've done it yourself (providing they've a scheme going).

I was never in favour of right to buy. All it achieved was what we're seeing now. Huge shortage in social housing and the ghetto-izing of what's left.
And if there is Independence all the money raised from the more affluent areas of Scotland will go to the junkies and job dodgers in the Central Belt. What's the difference tree hugger?
Only a daftie would invest loads of money into things like that if they lived in a cooncil hoose. I think if the stuff is decent they give it to charities that help people furnish properties.
