Re: Bedroom tax - targeting the poorest.
I don't know-I am needing more detail to form a stance on this. I am sorry that someone lost her life .
However, nobody living by themselves requires a 3/4/5 bedroomed property. What would be ideal for her would be to be rehoused in a smaller property.
I blame the government for a lack of one bedroomed properties. (building more creating more cost, counteracting the saved!) And I blame them for how difficult it is to re house-to a certain extent.
I don't think bedroom tax is a bad idea generally though. The principle isn't. There should be more help for those who need to move in the aftermath of the change, sad cases like this is all you see in the media. Not the people who have now been able to move from cramped housing to a more suitable larger place once somebody who took up that space, has moved out.
