What is more, most of the public assume that the people in this sort of social housing are essential workers who need to live close by. Iโve met dozens of the tenants living in social housing in Pimlico - I had assumed they would be cleaners or overnight security guards working in Parliament or the like. In reality many didnโt work and I never met any who were this sort of essential worker who needed to be living nearby. They simply showed โlinksโ to the area by e.g. having their kids at a nearby school, or were there by pot luck
