I suppose that selling the council houses to the tenants could be seen as benfitting the man in the street. Many of the people who bought the houses would never have been able to get on the property ladder any other way.......but while it might have been of benefit to those in the houses at the time, we are suffering now with a lack of affordable housing......and I guess this has to be put down to the selling off of this stock.
