AIBU to be shocked that council housing is still being sold off?

I imagined this terrible legacy from Thatcher ceased years ago. How can it possibly still be defended as a good thing?

Children can't just inherit their parents "council house " well not in my town amyway,it was made abundantly clear when we got our tenancy that there is one succession of tenancy , so if I die before before dh, he inherits the tenancy as a sole tenant and vice versa there is no question of our children inheriting the tenancy

Same in Ireland. I have seen adult children having to leave the property after the parents pass.
There is also a limit of earning and savings here to get approved to go on the council list, AFAIK it is around 37000 wage limit with no savings, most earn lots less.
