I would set a trail of hubcaps to somewhere with a surfeit of one bedroom flats.

BBC News - Housing benefit cuts 'lead to thousands in Merseyside in debt'

They estimated almost 26,500 households have been affected by the cuts, yet, due to a shortage of smaller homes, only 155 were able to downsize into housing association properties in April.

In the Riverside area, 2,347 householders would need to move to a one-bedroom property to avoid cuts to their benefits - however only 407 one-bed homes become available each year, the report stated.

As a result, large family homes are lying empty as tenants cannot afford to move in and pay extra for spare rooms, it is claimed.

whilst I'm in favour of the basic policy it should be the stick to force grannies in single occupancy to move out of 4 bedroom houses once they have been offered a suitable alternative.
