The Joys of Living In A Council House

Full marks to Ayesha Chowdhury (council member of the London Borough of Newham) for once living "as the people do" in a council house.

However, it is rather odd that she chose to do this, as she in fact had a financial interest in a string of properties in Newham worth over £1M:

82 Downing, Beckton, E6 Co-Owner
95 Lonsdale Avenue, East Ham, E6 Co-Owner
6 Truesdale Road, E6 Co-Owner
100 Park Avenue, E6 Co-Owner
199 Tollgate Road Co-Owner
10 Harrier Way, Beckton E6 Co-Owner
27 Trader Road, Beckton, E6 Co-Owner
5 Hogarth Close, Beckton, E6 Co-Owner
47 Plymouth Road, E16 Co-Owner
205 Tollgate Road, Beckton Co-Owner
39 Albert Roase Close, E6 Co-Owner
59 Fourth Avenue E6 Co-Owner
16a Forest Side E7 Co-Owner
18 Eric Close E7 Co-Owner
96a Plashet Grove E7 Co-Owner
5 Chelmsford Close E6 Co-Owner
203 Tollgate Road, Beckton Co-Owner
5a Hogarth Close, Beckton, E6 Co-Owner

Is it not a bit selfish of her to deprive someone who really needs council housing of a place to live, given that she has several addresses at which she could live and that Newham is currently conducting social cleansing in time for the Olympics?
