This effect has become really pronounced here in the UK.

If I could secure even 50% of my London rates > 1hr outside of London I would be laughing in terms of quality of life.

Alas, since the financial crisis, prospects seem to be better in London and worse outside than they ever were.

I seem to be doing OK on the south coast as a contract C and C++ programmer. I could probably get 50% more in London (not 100%, not easily), but then I don't have to put up with the crowds, the grime and terrible smells or all the miserable faces on the tube, and I'll be buying a detached house with a garden soon...

Much better, IMHO.
