The rules are complicated.<br /><br />In the New Year I am hoping to get involved with local project called Leeds Community Housing who want to build 1000 homes with selling restrictions. I am putting my own money into it and I would like to learn how to do my own project (they have said they want to teach other people).<br /><br />I'm not sure if these are CLTs but I will let you know how it goes.Rich Teehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14037296506942507747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-8177070506636572962016-11-21T21:36:26.470+00:002016-11-21T21:36:26.470+00:00The cynic in you need not wonder, it always happen...The cynic in you need not wonder, it always happens in the end. See UK garden cities, see council house and HA sell offs, freehold enfranchisement and so on. <br /><br />The <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/israel-to-privatise-kibbutzim-1080625.html" rel="nofollow">most depressing example</a> of this is people in Kibbutzim - who got given the land for free way back when - deciding that they ought to de-mututalise this and privatise the land and sell living space to the next generation.
