New data from the Office for National Statistics shows that the poorest 10% of households in the UK are still paying a higher proportion of their income in tax than the richest.
True. “Quality of life” is a bit of a weird measurement if they aren’t using it as a shorthand for “purchasing power”, as it can be pretty subjective.
Like you said, the local amenities where you live can really add to “quality of life”. I can walk to a pub, nature reserve, cafe, supermarket, school, or a bunch of other places within a 10 minute walk. I can cycle to work in 20 minutes.
That is fairly common in the UK and I’d think is pretty uncommon in the US.
