Even I (who hate conservatives) would admit that our UK conservatives are not quite as barking mad as the US Republicans.

The sharp pointed end of this problem though is that there are a lot of single people or couples either who have not bred or whose children are off hand and pretty well absolutely no social housing for them so if they are economically displaced where can they go?   

There is not much single bedroomed private accommodation either and there has been upward market pressure on rents there too. That wil be intensified. There are limits on rent amounts included in benefits - I found that out when taking in two lodgers who were paid benefits. I was not overcharging them (my house and garden are tolerable) but the benefits would not cover the modest and reasonable rents I was asking.

Now where do the dispossessed go?
