I guess you are not being serious, but obviously, they come for the usual sorts of attractions offered by large cosmopolitan international cities. London has its flaws, but to describe it as a “work camp” is just completely divorced from reality.
- HPsquared 2y agoIt's hyperbole, but I believe it's fundamentally a place to work and earn money, perhaps gain experience. It's not a place to grow and develop humans. Places like that are net sinks of human capital and basically vacuum up people from more provincial locations, extract their economic value, and people eventually leave when they get tired of it - possibly with some cash in their pocket.
- foldr 2y agoIf you remove the emotional coloring from this, you’re just saying that most people in London work for a living, and that many of them commute from less central locations to more central ones. The same could be said of many big cities. Not everyone likes big cities or wants to raise their children in one, but your original comment was a bad take.
- HPsquared 2y agoI simply must rearrange the words: "most people live in a London for work". But yes, personal taste etc etc.
