Time to become The Novocastrian?
Care of Eurostat, I have discovered that Newcastle upon Tyne, at 54%, has the highest percentage - of British towns listed - of respondents who "strongly or somewhat agreed with the statement that in this city it is easy to find good housing at a reasonable price". Leipzig leads at 78%, and in Goethe's words, "Mein Leipzig lob' ich mir! Es ist ein klein Paris und bildet seine Leute. (I praise my Leipzig! It is a little Paris and educates its people.)
London does not come bottom of the overall list, although it is last for the UK at 12%. A mere three per cent of Parisians agree with the statement. Doubtless the figures would be lower if they has asked folk outside the M25 / Périphérique who would like to live in either city.
