Just bought a five bed detached with double garage and massive gardens for less than it would cost for two bed terrace.
Less congestion on roads.
I'm sure there is more !

It's swings and roundabouts.. I live in Greater London, and am a 10 minute walk from the countryside, a 20 minute drive from the M25 (OK, not much of a selling point on it's own, but I have speedy access to the motorway network if I need it) and a 40 minute train journey from the centre of London. I don't drive, so public transport is important, and even though I am on the outskirts of London, trains to London still leave every 15 minutes and buses to various places every few minutes. As for traffic, apart from rush hour and Saturday afternoon, we have none. If I want shops, I have three major shopping centres within 30 minutes on the bus (or 15 by car).
As for the racist thing, what did people expect? While I know that most people who voted leave are NOT racist (same as most Londoners are not racist), those people that ARE racist are probably assuming that 52% of the population are agreeing with them. Something I don't think is good..
