I just found the article to which some posts seem to refer:

So no one seems to speak about evictions any more like in the opening post on this thread. I can relax now.

But let’s just look at some of the figures. This proposal is expected to increase income in Wandsworth by 7m a year from 200 households. Depending on the size of the home a family would need to pay 14k to 76k EXTRA rent with average of 35k extra (7m /200 families). For this they would need average of 50k up to over 100k gross salary just to pay for the extra rent wanted by the council. All this is on assumption that multiple incomes come to over 100k and effective tax rate is 20% + 10% NI)

Now this 7m can be used to help those in real need.

Yeah right. Great policy! It will really solve the housing problem.
