    Hitting London with a ballistic missile would bring the rents down. Maybe this is a good thing.

      Well it would likely put them up, seeing as it would remove supply but, if you know Londoners you’ll know it won’t do a damn thing about demand.

        At least they have good public transportation. But yeah, anyone making less than £100,000 a year, good luck finding anywhere with a train commute of under an hour.

          We moved into a home county. I grew up in London, but it’s just too expensive. We could have gotten a place there, but it would not be a good one, not be in a good area and likely be beyond our personal budget (the banks would give us the money, we wouldn’t accept it).

          Not regretting it at all really.

        These things aren’t accurate enough to hit much so as long as he puts conventional warheads on it like he did for Dnipro, it won’t do much.
