A part of this problem is that people want to live in nice and secure neighborhoods. If you walk around the city you see plenty of people that don't look affluent enough to worry about 40% tax. These people either got very lucky or live in the neighborhoods you don't want to live. Notorious for crime, immigrants, ugly or bad housing and/or bad public schools.
You basically pay for the privilege to live with other rich people so you don't have to deal with that. Naturally that's expensive.
- chrisseaton 9y ago> bad public schools Huh? Do you really get 'bad' public schools?
- matthewmacleod 9y agoI don't think anybody outside of the UK would understand the term 'public school' to mean anything other than a state school.
- chrisseaton 9y agoAaah of course.
- dep_b 9y agoPublic versus private schools indeed. Public schools can be quite good but it depends on the quality of the students and teachers that are willing to work there.
