> Think of it as a plumbing problem. Your primary people flow is between cheap rent and good jobs. That's an interesting idea. Just thinking out loud, I wonder how one affects the other. I.e cheap rent -> create better transport links -> increased rent -> etc etc. I know this is true with tube stations raising the cost of certain areas in London.

There probably is a first principles model for urban planning, don't be like me and get sucked into it.

This is a perfectly valid comment. And a situation I experience many times. For example, reaching from Liverpool street to Farringdon could take 30 minutes during peak times. I still have the image of nearly a dozen busses queueing up and trying to take people from the station. I decided to talk very often instead of not taking the bus and it wasn't slower.

That specific journey is much faster now that the Elizabeth Line is running.
