Talk:Right to Buy

Scheme or policy
An I/p changed scheme to policy suggesting the former had negative connotations. However this is HMG's own term. JRPG (talk) 12:43, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Give the impact right to buy continues to have on homelessness and council housing stock, how could anyone on the waiting list have anything other than negative connotations and opinions about the scheme? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.244 (talk) 10:05, 18 July 2023 (UTC)


 * The scheme is ideologically driven, i.e. reduce public housing when the needs are not calculated. I am not in Britain and looked at this article to see how this is managed. The discounts are too high and the proceeds are not put in new housing or infrastructure because some people have the idea it is not a government thing to help people being housed.
 * It is quite similar in all the other 5eyes countries. While there is some evidence that people now acknowledge that the ideology looked good on paper only, the next step, revising this scheme, is not yet discussed. I had believed such a scheme was about recycling the assets, sell some, build new, then sell these and build new. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:D5FC:DE13:550C:2F0D (talk) 02:16, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
