One of the most expensive cities in the world.

When London became the financial center of the EU prices really took off.

A few years ago we were visiting London and took a Jack the Ripper walking tour which takes you through the now financial district. It was evening, and a parade of exotic cars went by us as the finance guys were heading home from work.

My apology, you are correct. inaccessible as it was linked through Drudge Report.

I should have checked the link after I posted.

My daughter and her husband just signed a lease on a really nice Apt in Zone 2 that is twice as big as their last apt in the Bay area (San Mateo) and about $800 cheaper.

And now because of brexit, they'll no longer be the financial center of the EU. Look for a big bust in London real estate.

Dubliners are lick their chops.

London was THE major hitter in the financial world long before the EU existed, and very little, if anything, will change.

Don't count on it. The rest of the euroweenies are pissed at the UK for bailing. They may make it difficult for UK based firms to do business in the rest of the continent. Not to mention that other EU member who might be looking to take that business way (Ireland, Holland, and even Germany), might push the policy mentioned above.
