And gentrification. I see a lot of those Stop Gentrification stickers as I hike around D.C. I guess I translate that internally to "Keep Our Neighborhood Crappy".

#10 They are not just leaving the cities they are leaving the country. The UK has a high emigration rate especially of skilled professionals.

#11 An interesting axiom about government: when leftists are in charge of a city, the streets and other infrastructure are in disrepair, but there are plenty of "social services" that sustain themselves on an ever-growing pool of the poor. When conservatives are in charge, the infrastructure is kept in good repair, and there are minimal "social services", the poor being strongly encouraged not to need them. This applies just as much to Little Rock, AR, as it does to London. It is also interesting to note that "white flight" is strongly happening in Little Rock, too. If London gets a conservative government, that starts to systematically 'gentrify' the run-down areas of the city, like Giuliani did to Times Square, the trend will reverse, and "whites" will come back in droves.
