What you have to remember council housing is an entitlement not a right.
Any landlord can give you notice and ask you to leave. In this case the government/local authority is the landlord and they are essentially requesting an increase in rent.
Moving to a smaller house will have an impact in rent, as there will be a reduction. Win/Win.
I would not buy a 5 bed house if I could not afford it, so why should others thinks its ok for them to have a house they technically can't afford. I would not have kids if we could not afford it. We would like more but our combined salaries do not allow this.
