Yup. This is the main issue here (and arguably in 'Murica, too) with our political parties.
Neither party seem to want to do anything about it.

It's going to be a massive fight to fix it. If voters except quick and easy answers, it ain't gonna happen.
It's becoming a world wide issue BTW most people being in cities, then the prices go nuts, cities become unliveable, transport can't cope... only thing I can think of is to move remote IT work to nearby smaller cities and grow those. You need a proper road and backbone, but once people have a family the country doesn't look so bad if schools/houses are there.
My idea may completely not work though!
No doubt an "expert" has ideas :p

Anti-globalism of work / neo-liberalism was a reason in the North among voters, from what I've seen.
I'm rather pissed off with the hard left in the UK here for promoting to leave the EU, as they are equally clueless on how to solve the issues of labor moving to low wage countries and now we are looking at an even worse situation with the Tories.
If the conservatives/city labour would have not neglected whole areas the past 4o years, we would not have been here. That's not a left/right issue though, it's a lack of work in areas/vs cities issue.
