My point is that, by spreading useless rumours like you just did, you might be giving ideas to the almighty housing department!
As a matter of fact, this is what happened already. The housing policy was not about to be changed, not at all. But because some people starting spreading rumours they gave them the idea!
And the gossippers first said it would be announced in May, than it becam June and now maybe it will be July. Oh C'mon....
There is nothing mentioned so far with regards to housing. NOTHING!
And in any case, if it will be decided there is nothing you can do about it!
