April: when everything changes

It makes no sense to me to count housing benefits by number of rooms anyway. Housing vouchers here are flat dollar figures, and it's up to the tenant to figure out how much house they can afford and in what neighborhood.

Still, I can't get over how often you and Sundae refer to housing benefits and estates. It just seems so much rarer here overall. But maybe I get a false impression simply because it's a hot topic... roughly what percentage of the UK population would you say is on some level of government housing?
