Early council tenants adored their homes, which had modern conveniences such as indoor toilets.

早期的市政厅租户很喜欢他们的房子，那里有室内厕所等现代化便利设施。

By contrast, many council tenants have been shoved into modernist towers and bold Brutalist experiments.

相比之下，许多市政厅租户已被推入现代主义塔楼和大胆的野兽派实验。

Had they asked, council tenants would have told them their housing preferences were almost exactly the same as those of middle-class homeowners.

如果他们问起，市政厅的租户会告诉他们，他们的住房偏好几乎与中产阶级房主的偏好完全相同。

This helps cheaper shops survive, suggests Tony Travers of the London School of Economics: council tenants are less likely to drive and so rely more on local outlets.

伦敦经济学院的Tony Travers表示，这样有助于更廉价的店铺存活下来：那些社会租房的租户的购买力收效甚微，所以更多的还是依赖于当地商铺。
