Folks, this is GOVERNMENT-OWNED housing. Not private homes.

Um, no. The idiots behind this lunacy are looking at privately owned housing:

From the article:
The thinking behind this initiative was provided from a report, ‘Hoarding of Housing’ undertaken by a newly created charity, The Intergenerational Foundation (IF), a left leaning, research-based think-tank which ‘promotes fairness between generations’ as they state on their website. The report makes for depressing reading as its clearly aggressive stance toward older people who they consider to be ‘rattling around in big houses’ while younger families are being squeezed into smaller flats and under-sized houses. IF claims it is not urging the government to ‘round on older generations and turf them out of their homes’ but they have busily calculated that 25 million bedrooms are standing empty and that 51.5% of those aged over 65 have two or more bedrooms that they don’t need.

Public housing would just be the start. This is clearly aimed at privately owned property, and to call them out as the communists they are is not only appropriate, but absolutely necessary.

Wrong. They are discussing private homes. Read the entire article.
