> Prices are dropping around the country. > London prices are forcing people away from living in London. Businesses are moving away. Wouldn't this force prices higher across the country? As someone living in Bristol, I have to say that there's been a (noticeable) influx of people from London, and that this is what I believe has forced local prices up to the point where many can no longer afford to stay. Friends of mine, who are local (I am an Essex import), have scattered as far as Darwen and Bournemouth.
