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.

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.
