Here (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/29/skyscr...) is a good article that explains it well.

Plus, I don’t think housing should really be left to the free market. This is the UK after all, social housing is one of the best things we’ve ever done (IMO).

The article is full of bombastic statements like "They are loved by virility-obsessed mayors."

I.e. the article isn't credible.

The author is previous deputy chairman of the National Trust and English Heritage.

A quick search would’ve shown you who the author of the column is.

Doesn't matter who he is. If he wants his article to be taken seriously, he shouldn't fill it with unsupportable bombast.
