As so often in the UK's housing crisis reforms intended to ameliorate some of the dysfunctional housing market's effects (here shared-ownership affordable housing) merely (re)introduce problems but focus them on more vulnerable households.

Without a major rethink of how we manage housing in this country, fiddling round the edges of a market built on the expectation of inflationary prices will never solve the social problem of unaffordable dwellings!
