>>People are moving into London at a huge rate. That to me suggests that the city is doing something right, and should keep doing what it's doing rather than try to radically shake things up. It's actually a failure of UK and not necessarily just success of London. Here the failure of UK lies in the fact that it, as a modern society, has failed miserably to create other cities like London even after so many years of existence. The uneven progress of few (or worst, just single) such cities is a very bad sign for the society as a whole. Such nations will be heading for larger societal troubles ahead. Rent controls and limiting house ownership to strictly one house is one step forward. What is even more important is to set up infrastructure facilities in other cities too, so that industries don't find it necessary to flock only to single/few cities while living the rest of the nation poor/wanting.
