What's happening in London now is what happened to New York 20 years ago - and it ends badly.

[andrewducker]

Yeah, you need all kinds of people to build a vibrant city, and what's happening to London isn't good.

But is it good news for other cities in the UK?

Bristol's certainly thriving, from what I hear from friends in the city - and I believe Glasgow's doing pretty well too.

[danieldwilliam]

I travel to or through Bristol a lot and have been doing so for about ten years.

I’d certainly agree that it has improved significantly in that time, although my relationship with the city is superficial.

[andrewducker]

Edinburgh's alright :->

[cairmen]

Haven't been to NYC for going on 10 years now, at least for any length of time - how does it end?

Little to no culture at all beyond government sponsored museums, hyper inflation at bars and clubs, a very right wing government that favors finance types and your city becoming a Disney version of what it once was.

If you want a good sense look up pictures of Bowery section around CBGBs circa 1980 and that same area today.
