Trouble is that everyone wants to live in the south east and we have got far too many here as it is hence the high prices and groaning infrastructure.

Yeah we need to do better in promoting investment and business in the North. I think London & the South East would be helped if we didn't have every new development being taken up by luxury apartments marketed as investments to wealthy investors from abroad. I could understand Westminster and Hyde Park getting luxury developments but Stratford? Hackney? East London? It's getting insane.
Maybe London needs to have more powers devolved so it can concentrate on it's unique problems and allow Parliament to address the wider country. That said I don't have confidence in London's governance to assume they won't want to continue things as they are anyway.
