So this is a clue what WAS achieved with such a poisoned housing Labour challis.
"Communities Secretary and Chief Secretary to the Treasury announce new borrowing powers."

“New borrowing powers will enable councils to build up to 10,000 affordable homes, Communities Secretary Eric Pickles and Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander announced today (7 April 2014)."
"From today councils can bid for a share of £300 million of extra borrowing, which will be made available through an increase in their housing revenue account borrowing cap, and invested in new affordable housing over 2 years from 2015."
"Ministers also confirmed that the rules about council land sales would change, so more surplus and redundant land and property can be released to build homes for local communities."
"Councils applying for extra borrowing powers will need to demonstrate maximum value for money, by including funds from disposal of surplus assets, particularly high-value vacant stock, and by bringing forward their own land for new affordable housing."
Councils building more
"The government has untied councils’ hands by reforming the system for council house finance. Councils can now keep their rents and receipts from house or land sales, in return for taking more responsibility for housing in their area."
"Since 2010 170,000 affordable homes have been delivered across the country, while councils have built more council housing in the last 3 years than in the previous 15 years combined".
"Today’s move will allow councils to build on this progress and ensure local people have the affordable homes they need.”
And as the Conservatives have the ability to encourage/work with the private sector rather than bash them at every opportunity, I'd suggest far more homes of ALL TYPES AND FROM ALL PROVIDERS would be build over the next parliament under Conservative government, than a Labour one based on their record over the past 35-years.
