There are no improvement in services at all , this city is becoming the most expensive place to live in outside London , but without the London wages .

I don't think you've thought that post through at all.

Bearing in mind services have been cut to the bone (and beyond) as a direct result of government cuts to local services (which may account for the lack of improvement), can you provide first-hand, peer-tested evidence to prove that Brighton being an expensive place to live is because we usually have a 'left-wing' (very debatable concept with the current incumbents) council?

Thanks.
