    Isn't that good.. solve UK's reducing population problem (in view of brexit), and reduce the housing demand in hk such that house rental can fall to a reasonable level, not to say more job vacancies for remaining ppl... looking forward to this.

    How many ppl actually left hk during the pre 97 debacle ?

    55 to 66k per year for the ten years prior... ~1/1.5% of the population every year.

    I will use this benefit after brexit, since my wife got Austrian PR already this year.

    I don't think people are advertising this yet, but a few local/BNO families have told me in confidence that they are moving to the UK

    To answer my own question - Cambridge/Oxford by percentage, London by absolute numbers. Interesting - never knew that. Why Oxford/Cambridge?
