>I'm about to give up on London and move to San Francisco

It seems to me, having lived in both, that they have very similar problems. Both London and SF have a significant wealth gap.

Property is even worse in SF: prices are generally speaking more expensive (mainly due to far less supply than London), and average rent is higher.

What I'm getting at is if you agree with the op-ed and want to give up on London why would you choose a city which has a very similar set of problems?

I can't speak for the OP, but check the salary differences between the two cities. The higher prices in SF may be offset.
