In the news

It's a reasonable concern, but I don't think that LTNs are a major driving factor in the challenge to find affordable places to live (in London or elsewhere).

Well, filtering increases house prices. You can have a debate about how much it contributes, but it certainly does.

I mean what a miserable situation we must be in if the response to improvements in the public realm are "please don't make it nice, otherwise I won't be able to live here any more". Bleak.

I'm afraid that worry is a lived reality for a lot of people. I've seen it happening in Hackney over the last 20 years and I've seen dozens of people I know priced out of it. Obviously, it mainly happens to people renting and people who want to buy a flat or house, but they generally have to move further out.
