I'm not super-rich and I'm doing fine in London. So is everyone I know and that includes nurses, programmers, artists and carers perhaps ironically. None of them are moving away.
What is a big problem is hyperbole, media and vocal whiners.
Social mobility is bollocks as well. It's perfectly possible to do it and it is easier than it has ever been due to the sheer piles of education available for little to nothing and the thousands of opportunities. Motivation and time are the only constraints.
Edit: everyone I know has moved up the social ladder, if there is one. We all appear to be in the same shit at the end of the day.
