Oh no, I hadn't seen that vid, Clem definitely lives on a council estate, but still, Right To Buy.
As for houses outside major cities, I suppose it depends. A lot of houses outside towns and cities in my experience have been privately owned and the council don't build new houses there due to immense pressure from local residents who don't want scallies running around. Then again, this could be to do with the fact that my experiences with village life have all been in the green belt, which is a lovely area of the country protected by law (no building allowed).
It's a shame really as the electoral roll says that Clem and his mum live in Newmarket, which does have some really nice areas (mostly around the race track) but there he is living next to the A14 (busiest freight route in the UK) so that's bound to drive him insane too.
EDIT: I found his area on Google Maps. Definite council estate.
