> like the fine example of Grenfell tower

The Grenfell tower fire was caused by a renovation intended to improve thermal insulation.

The renovation project used an external thermal insulation system that failed to meet both the manufacturer's recommendation and building regulation requirements. The particular system was actually banned in the UK while it was installed.

Tell me why you believe this has anything to do with public housing.
