Practically everyone had somewhere to live when councils owned most of the property, and in turn, the rents were ploughed back into the community. Libraries, Police, Schools, disposing of the rubbish and filling pot holes in the road. Now the councils have sold off all of their housing stock to unscrupulous property developers/Landlords etc, and have to go 'cap in hand' to the government.
