Bob Crow did live in a council house in East London. He could have bought it with a very considerable discount and thus greatly increase his own wealth. Instead he chose to remain in it, paying rent, leaving it within public ownership. Quite understandably, very few council house renters refused the chance to buy their homes at a very significant discount. But it did mean that the property was then unavailable for any other would-be council renters.
