We need the 'Fourth Option' argues Alan Walter from Defend Council Housing
...
Totally agree Alan.Financial anarchy in the 'Homebuyers' market.Private and Public monies pouring into the pockets of private landlords.If social democracy is about anything it is about regulating, controling or replacing markets that do not serve the people.The Housing situation is not fit for purpose.One step to address the crisis is to explicitly [yes Alan, the Green Paper is deliberately vague]allow Local Govt to build democratically controlled'Council' Housing.
...
I think Alan Walter's article is the ony thing I've ever come across on the Compass website that I've ever agreed with without any serious reservation.
...
Alan, DCH is often accused of being a 1 issue party.
