The Financial Times for some reason runs a story that "key workers" cannot afford property in Chalfont St Peter, quite a nice place in Buckinghamshire. The story is that ambulance staff have to commute in.
And the point of this story in a national newspaper is ... what? Doubtless teachers and dustmen and postmen don't live locally either.
Probably nor do the shop assistants, who are also key workers, as otherwise there would be no shops there.
Commuting is a fact of life. It may not be greenily correct. But it happens.

Actually often commuting would not need to happen, if instead of giving flats to single mums they sold them to workers. I used to work in Woking and the amount of CO2 porduced by people commuting there must be immense. Some of them would have liked to live there but housing was unaffordable. Unless you are a single mum of course in which case it is free.
