Londoners want to move from the City to the West Country

As this man walked past me I heard him bark into his mobile phone I could pay the mortgate on a 5-bedroom farm in Devon for what Im paying to rent in London (the photograph was taken outside the Temple Church, made famous by Dan Browns Da Vinci Code, in the Inns of Court). Joel Garreau, in Edge City: Life on the New Frontier, 1991, suggested that the South of England from Dover to Bristol is effectively one large Edge City. That city is pushing into the West Country, with steep increases in property prices. The internet allows skilled residents to particpate in the knowledge economy while enjoying a peaceful landscape. This was, of course, Ebenezer Howards Garden City dream. Is the country made more or less sustainable when knowledge workers move out of London?
With broadband, the Devon countryside can become TOWN-COUNTRY
