Edinburgh trying to attract immigrants from London

Edinburgh has lifestyle options that are very attractive to workers in London because it is not such a crowded city, property is cheaper and journey times are shorter.

Such pithy but completely wrong comments are of course the raison d'etre of Donald Anderson, Edinburgh's erstwhile Council Leader, who is guaranteed to be habitually wrong about just about everything.

While not as crowded as London, Edinburgh's not bloody empty, property is already immensely over-priced, the education system is pretty shocking, and journey times are much higher [you're not going as far in Edinburgh, but you're going slower]. I know, details, details.
