Has anyone else noticed an increase in bad attitude towards social housing from property owners? I hought the UK was progressive and believed innequality but it seems to me the division is growing?

A lot of it stems from jealousy tbh- a reasonable rent and secure tenancy for life.
My house is council and a little cottage by the sea. I’m super lucky.
I suppose it depends where you live- in my town it would be differentiate as so many council places are now private so there’s less snobbery in general. That might be different in other areas with large estates

Nope, I think there has always been a negative attitude towards people in social housing.
