Social housing: who should come first?

The test question and the possible answers

Social housing: who should come first?

What's at stake: The debate is about priority on very long waiting lists: the poorest, or those who work and have lived there a long time.

The left's argument

Social housing must go first to those who need it most, with no other filter.

The centre's argument

Mix different income levels to avoid creating ghettos in neighbourhoods.

The right's argument

Giving priority to those who work or have lived here a long time is fairer.
