What are the immediate consequences of the "community right to buy" scheme, and how does it impact communities already burdened by reduced public services?

The "community right to buy" scheme, intended to save public assets, is criticized as a flawed mechanism that forces communities to fund what they already paid for through taxes. This is highlighted by the fact that public buildings were initially funded by the public, making the current model seem unfair and ineffective. The scheme shifts the burden of maintaining essential community services like libraries and leisure centers onto already strained communities.
