"one in six live in social housing"

that just means people cant afford private housing, for most, its probably that or live on the streets.

im aware of what its supposed to mean. either there are serious problems with your society or serious problems with the social housing system. there is also another 4million on a waiting list for housing. something needs to be fixed...and whats happening wont help any.

well, the problem is that we were building housing up till the late 70's at a rate that wasnt great, but was housing alot more than we can now, the government in the late 70s and 80s (Thatcher) decided to essentially stop all social housing, so now we dont have enough houses to go around, without significant investment in social housing, the problem Will only get worse, as youve picked up on.
(alot if this is from what ive seen/heard, so may not be 100% accurate, but you see the point im trying to make)
