Economics isn't your strong point, is it? It would have been more profitable to lend to more people. At the time it was mainly building societies that lent money. If you factor in the value of money compared to wages then the picture is more complex. And as you can see house prices were rising rapidly before the right to buy act (1980). ,
Great after 90% of the houses have been sold, the ring fence is implemented. Thirty plus years later. Brilliant! Coulda, woulda shoulda, Maggie conned you and you still can't see it.

But we wouldn't, would we? Public ownership isn't a guarantee of success. And don't forget Labour would have sold it anyway with the Gold.
I would suggest that as it was not beyond the powers of the Norwegians, the UK could have done an equally good job?
MOD properties not fit for habitation. Not even the inhabited ones. On the plus side, unhoused vets means much more room for visitors and their extended families. Peanut - you aren't suggesting we allow our esteemed visitors to sleep on the streets, are you? Shame on you.
