People in social housing are not allowed to rent out there spare rooms. I'm sure many tenants would love to do just that.
And there is a massive shortage of one and two bedroom homes. I'm not entirely sure where the government thinks these people can move.
Most of the people affected by this are on a bare minimum already. Arbitrarily deciding that someone who has lived in their home for 20 years or more should suddenly have to pay a premium for an extra bedroom is unfair.
As to whether whole areas become inaccessible for people on low incomes: that is socially dangerous imo. It is not good for a society to have whole cities devoted to a single class of inhabitants whilst the people who service that class live in an entirely different region.
