I mean....... yeah the service will be more spotty there. It shouldn't be but obviously if decisions need to be made it should be the ones that benefit working folks living in greater Glasgow right?
One of the fundamental reckonings we will need to face in the developed word is that this ideal situation of suburbia that was peddled through the mid century just isn't going to work long term. If you live way the hell out in the middle of nowhere than you really shouldn't be trekking into the city every day to work. Fortunately WFH is going to make this easier.
As it stands urban communities are subsidising the absolute hell out of suburban and rural communities who want the pastoral life and unfettered access to city convivences whenever they want (up to and including on a near daily basis). The gravy train will need to stop and the pounds generated in cities will need to be continually invested in the city itself not in subsiding the lifestyles of people living far away. |
