‘I looked at prices in London… and chose Leeds’

3 comments
  1. London has one of the highest quality labour pools in the world, but if you don’t need it then there’s no point paying the premium.

  2. I made the same decision 40 years ago when I left uni. There were a lot of jobs in London but plenty elsewhere so I decided to live somewhere I might reasonably be able to afford a decent place to live. I didn’t choose Leeds specifically, but it was the same motivation.

    Surely a million people and businesses make the same decision every year? Hardly newsworthy.
