I reside in London, and not even as a youngster but even as a mid 50s you have to live in the suburbs.

Housing is so expensive in the city I don't think many people can afford it.

1 bedroom apartment in bad areas where your car insurance will be at the highest cause of thefts etc costs around £250k.

Towards central London you are looking at around £750-900k for an 1 bedroom apartment.

Also I'd argue that London hasn't fixed crime, or schools, certainly there are less gun crimes but thats it really, everything else is the same.
