Interesting. Living in York I can confirm we had a deluge of London folk moving in post pandemic. The school WhatsApp groups now full of ludicrously pretentious names for their offspring. Local estate agent said he couldn’t believe the number of cash buyers

Seems to have skirted around …crime .any correlation with migration influx? Foreign parent? Eg how could all those ‘heritage’ Americans have just ‘floated away’ from these beautiful walkable cities like Detroit , Baltimore and inner urban zones with classy old buildings throughout the US. They must have really wanted to work 5 jobs, and spend their lives in a car getting obese, to afford a boring , dull characterless exurb (boring = crime free). Maybe they were mad. Can anybody think of any other reasons?

Happening in the U.K. in plain view. But not visible in this academic ghost written study , the writer wouldn’t get another internship if they stated the obvious.
