"And the Union workhouses." demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"
"Both very busy, sir..."
"Those who are badly off must go there."
"Many can't go there; and many would rather die."
"If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
This isn't JUST about privileged young would-be urbanites having to live a few stops further from Shoreditch. It's about having a city that isn't just a playground for the rich but that has a healthy mix of professions and lifestyles.
I understand your point but I think that they can go to cheaper localities and start life there. New places will develop consequently. Many times that's how new cities form.
Stoke-on-Trent was giving away houses recently. Of course, the reason they're so cheap is there's no jobs there, little culture and poor transport links.
I'm getting sick of flat design. But let's not go back to skeumorphism. A few years ago, when fake wood textures were all the rage, I remember being so frustrated at some of the interfaces. Lots of awkward metaphors (Oh, I'm supposed to click the inkwell to write a new document?) and poor discoverability (That's a button? I thought it was part of the background!).
