Consider the UK.UK's population: 62 millionLondon population: 8 million13% of the UK's population, therefore, resides in London. To say that only the "1%" can afford London is clearly not the case.In France's case, 15% of the population live in Paris.Perhaps we can't all live in London's Chelsea and whatever the most desirable part of Paris is. But both cities have excellent public transport... parent stevoski 13 years ago
