I wonder how the middle class will respond to the greater wealth disparity in London relative to the rest of the UK? Will there be a middle class flight to the rest of the nation that could not occur in the UAE? The whole of the UK is significantly more livable than the UAE, thanks to both climate and historical development that makes the whole nation relatively dense with towns and cities.

If there is a flight of the non-stupendously rich to suburbs and other cities, will employment centers respond? Or will those who need to work be forced to stay in an area where they have to compete with the super rich?

Yeah, I wasn't trying to say that women are responsible for being raped, more that the idea preventing rape only by teaching men not to rape is certainly not going to be the best way to solve the problem.

And I agree, I think a short course on establishing boundaries is what's needed to prevent these sort of preventable rapes from occurring, it simultaneously teaches people not to rape, and how to not get raped.
