Most people would only make that trip now if they're kidnapped. The commute is unreal. When a city succeeds, home prices go up and eventually young people can't afford to live in them. That's a real problem. If you look at Dublin, it's a victim of its own success.
Congestion is unreal in Dublin, which has few good highways.
And housing prices are going through the roof. So it may help that places have been down because it gives them the obverse of this problem. You don't notice big traffic jams in Glasgow. It's still remarkably easy to get out to the airport. This is a plus.
