Evergreen chart on England house-building numbers since WWII, via Jon Stone: the death — or murder? — of public #housing in the 1980s, and how the market never got even close to compensating for it.

Broken promises from property developers who'd set out to profit from turning pre-WWI pioneering (and Grade II listed) council houses into "luxury apartments". Their history merely fodder for the breathless advertising copy. Bluster, bold claims and then no progress. A perfect picture of modern Britain. #EldonGrove #councilhousing #ToryBritain #capitalism #failure #property #LuxuryApartments
