Except that 80,000 families have come off benefits since the cap was introduced,
And why should someone on benefits earn more than the average wage.
I agree, but Labour didn't replace the housing stiock either.
The housing market was overheating well before the pension freedoms, partially because the social housing stock wasn't replaced, but more so becasue Labour allowed unrestricted immigration, and so that raised demand for housing.
Correct; both governments (but especially the tories) should have restricted foreign investment in our housing market.
Not random at all, it's set at a certain level, but will affect those in the cities more so than those in the suburbs. It will mean that a lot of people will (like most foreigners of all nationalities) to go from an x bedroom house, to having to use all the rooms as sleeping areas.
Boy, what an exageration. Most won't have to move that far, but yes, will lose support from relatives, but as most of these people don't actually want to work, the last point is completely nonsensical, even though that's what the cap is intended to do.
