Absolutely not!

We need these houses to be kept as social housing as not enough houses are being built.

And i live in an ex local authority house (we did not buy it off the council!) and it's a good solid strong house and not on the verge of collapse

I'm not sure why you're cross, because your sisters don't work or because your house originally sold for less but you didn't benefit?...
What would the alternative be, to not sell any.. to turf out the current tenant and sell at full market value?
