@armen, its about government overstepping its boundaries and intruding on basic rights. All your bla-bla about well to do this and disadvantaged that is pure conjecture. I can just as easily say they're taking farm land to build affordable housing for people of no means, which is equally wrong. Regardless, GOD SAVE THE KINKS!
this happen to my family when i live in burbank,ca. they took our house so they could make section 8 housing(what bullshit). i love the kinks because unlike other bands theyre music makes a diffence.
One of my favorite protest songs. the Kinks are saying no to socialism in England. Meanwhile US protesters were flirting with communism, not heading the warning from the music they listened to and loved. Listen up!
I think this has less to do with socialism than gentrification and the taking of land from the disadvantaged to deliver it to the well to do. If anything, it is more about the advancement of corporate interests and private enterprise by the government at the expense of the poor working class who once lived in Muswell Heights - Davies childhood neighborhood. Not everything is about socialism.
This song is about gentrafication as many on this board have stated.

well the problem with some of the kinks songs is that they cant be watched in some parts of the world.
i for example have to switch on my privacy on my com to watch this videos.

Sure sounds like Ian Hunter heard this song prior to writing "Once Bitten Twice Shy" in 1975.
