You refer to research on the effect of home ownership, and them provide a plausible model as to why high levels of council housing (under current rules) might reduce mobility and so increase unemployment. You then say it *does *increase unemployment.

“Stamp Duty causes unemployment.” Indeed, in a round about way, Tim has said that. More, he has called SDLT a Financial Transaction Tax. He is right about that too.
This research is important . It touches not just on economic factors but also on profound social anchors that go to the heart of the British mentality. Depending on how you wisht o look at them, these anchors either hold our communities together or hold us back.
