From Nero to zero
The historic Roman city of York embarked on an ambitious programme to redefine #councilhousing, building 450 mixed-tenure #passivehouses across the city, and unashamedly prioritising walking and cycling, and shared outdoor #greenspaces, over cars.

Tower block, looks 1950s, 19 storeys, with brick skin (both red and yellow) and balconies that protrude at an angle on the narrower sides of the rectangular plan. Different treatment of windows at floor 1 -- nearly all glazed -- indicating a different function at this level, likely a communal purpose. Not on pilotis, exactly, but suggesting openness at ground floor level.
I am coming to the small conclusion the Clifton Court, Finsbury Park, by ECP Monson for Islington, is of interest. Don't know the date, looks 1950s. The other good works by the firm in this period are Sussex Close, Aubert Court, Cluse Court & the block at Highbury Corner. #islington #CouncilHousing

🔹 *Part 3: The History of Council Housing*
Council housing once provided security for millions. But decades of sell-offs and neglect have eroded this safety net. Rebuilding public housing is key to solving today’s crisis. #CouncilHousing

🚨 the destruction of #CouncilHousing in the early 1980s was a big mistake. An alternative now cld be for govt to borrow more to build houses: nobody can doubt..that housing is an asset..govt could argue that investing in additional #housing was a sensible reason for increasing its debts🚨

No surprises here - a hugely damaging policy that provided short-term gains for a few at great long-term cost, effectively using public assets to buy votes. Good to see the government tightening up the rules.

I remember my late father saying that #Thatcher's #RightToBuy #CouncilHousing would be a disaster for the Social Housing stock - leading to a #HousingCrisis. Dad, you called it correct.

Council Housing Saved My Life.
You don't always see something NOT happening.
I'm still here because I got a council flat when I was in crisis.
I am forever grateful for my little hole in the ground. 🙏 ❤️
#councilhousing
I'm so lucky our council still has some 1950s and 1960s accommodation, and I ended up on one.
It's been truly tested over a long time and many families before me, and still very robust and feels safe to be in.
I'm glad I didn't end up in a new build. This suits me better.
