I cannot feel sorry for someone who can afford commuting across a vast ocean. Now, sure rents are way to expensive for the working poor, but this guy isn't one of them. He could easily live in the Hebrides and live on the cheap.<p>The UK, and England especially, is dense, but they still have lots of immigration from Eastern Europe, the Caribbean, etc., that put pressures on the housing stock for native population. They need to tackle that.
