What's the solution? Build more social / council housing of course - but where does all the money to do so, come from?
It's a difficult one - I can see why there is a need to look at these things, absolutely - - what or how a solution is reached that meets everyones expectations - is a different matter entirely.

I honestly have no idea. But targetting the most vulnerable in society isnt the way to go IMO. So many of the benefit reforms have been about taking away from those who need it most, and its unfair. And IF this new tax is about saving the government money (which I suspect it is, based on previous 'changes') they will be very disappointed I think
Unless of course, when they realise they arent saving money through this they just cut LHA rates also, forcing more out onto the streets to save a bit more cash. Which I really wouldnt put past the current ones in power.
