Why do you think richer areas and their residents should be able to pass the burden on?
I'd prefer councils to house their tenants down south as well, particularly as it seems to be their problem tenants that they're paying to house up North, creating new ghettos up here.
But rental prices are so high in London they have to do that, Kensington they must be sky high.
Legislation says that councils have to house their homeless tenants but they don't have to house them in that borough.
The costs are K&C's problem, not everyone else's.
Why are you advocating that other councils and their residents have to take on the burden. It's not just housing, it's schooling, access to GP and other health services that will be put under further strain.
Why do you think K&C, and their wealthy council, get to become even richer by avoiding the social obligations less wealthy areas have to provide?
