Hmmm what is a “ghetto”
The term is now commonly used to refer to any poverty-stricken urban area.
“Ghetto” is also used figuratively to indicate geographic areas with a concentration of any type of person (e.g. gay ghetto, student ghetto) or for non-geographic categories (e.g. “sci fi ghetto”)
You have to live in the real world.
In Brighton house prices are high, the average house price for a 3-bed room house is £400,000.
So can you see anyone who meets the eligibly criteria for council housing buying there own home with out the tenants discount program?
Brighton is not the north of England where house prices are lower.
There’s 2 universities’ in the town and a lot of accommodation to rent.
I read the replies to this post and see that like always people are trying to “muddily the waters “ with there own engenders.
The facts are simple in Brighton, we are all force to pay 20% of our council tax to “help out” deprived areas in the rest of country.
Now we are being force to pay for repairs and new council building for people, who are not from our local area and who are likely to buy there houses in a few years times, just to sell them on.
Has interest rates and council tax rise, why are we all being force to pay for them?
If council homes are so important let central government fund them and not the local council tax payers
