Summary: Examines whether the enabling local authority has really been disabled by central government; whether housing associations can fulfil their new role as leading providers of social renting housing; whether building societies will still be able and willing to finance them; what sort of social and economic consequences the growth in home ownership will have; and whether the private rented sector can be revived. Provides critiques of government policies from the new right, from a race and gender perspective, and from the point of view of council tenants.
