I went to University in London and lived there for 10 years. I loved the city to death. Back then in the mid-90s we thought property was over valued, but in truth a 2 bedroom flat at around 80k in zone 2/3 was affordable on a modest income. I liked the culture, the people and walking around the city which was always so alive. Despite all that when I decided to get married and have a family I looked elsewhere. Perhaps ironically I settled in Vancouver which is suffering a lot of the same issues as London as so many others had the same idea. Good article but it's really just a fact of life that if you live somewhere that many people want to live, you must compete with them for rental and real estate.
