Private Sector Housing unsuitable for benefit claimants

This article on Building is pretty astonishing. It explains that houses built for sale to private individuals are of too low a quality to be offered to the poor. The idea that it is not acceptable for poor indigenous Brits to be offered sub-standard social housing has moved to a different level. What we now have it the assertion that it is unacceptable for low-income tenants to have to put up with private sector standards.

Words fail me.
