Rent in London is so high that one young professional has worked out it would be cheaper live in Barcelona and fly to work.
伦敦房价太贵了,年轻的上班族发现与其住在伦敦,不如搬到西班牙巴塞罗那去,然后每天“打飞的”去伦敦上班来得更划算。
Social Media manager Sam Cookney, 30, wanted a less expensive way of travelling to his office near Liverpool Street station.
今年30岁的萨姆-库克尼是一家社交媒体的经理,他想了一个更省钱的通勤计划。
What he found was an unlikely solution: it would be more cost effective to relocate to the sun-kissed coast of north east Spain, more than 700 miles away.
他的计划看上去有点疯狂:因为他发现住在阳光明媚的西班牙巴塞罗那比住在伦敦更划算,即使巴塞罗那距离伦敦有700英里之遥。
Mr Cookney said that a combination of cheap rent, travel and the lack of council tax charges in the Spanish city would more than undercut the high prices of travel cards living costs in the English capital.
库克尼表示,综合来算,西班牙便宜的房租、通勤费用,节省下来的各种税费,要远比住在高消费的伦敦要划算。
He arrived at the extraordinary solution by doing sums based on property and travel websites.
库克尼根据网上提供的住房和差旅费用算了一笔账。

Add that to the fact that he could live in a sunny city by the sea, and Mr Cookney said his findings were 'beyond crazy'.
省钱不算外,巴塞罗那还是一个面朝大海、阳光明媚的城市。库克尼只能感叹“太扯了”。
'It's just beyond crazy, and completely unsustainable'.
“这太扯了,完全不具有可持续性。”
