What would the alternative be, to not sell any.. to turf out the current tenant and sell at full market value?
I just think if you want to buy a house you should save for it, and social housing should be kept for the most needy and vulnerable in our society, and to be honest we bought our house when the prices were good, so we didn't lose anything in fact we've gained, it's the fact that our neighbours have been given a house whereas we've had to work for ours.

I could say the same about my dad, is it fair that he's never worked a day in his life (only cash in hand if you know what i mean), then he gets to buy his council house at a rock bottom price, when other hard working people have to work for theirs, my dad would get a full refund as he's been in social housing for over 40 years, however he's paid no tax, no national insurance.
