>LOL we're getting there. Both my children are still at home rather than paying ludicrous rents or prices in London.
>I'm beginning to wonder how essential service workers (usually fairly low paid) will be able to work in London. Hospitals, infrastructure, schools etc. They won't be able to afford a long expensive commute or to live near their work.

Even in Kent - 1h~1.30h commute - prices are outrageous.
Anyway i would prefer NZ to London or the UK in general.
