A few thoughts about LTNs, based on the many conversations I have had over the past months of campaigning in Islington:
- Most supporters of LTNs tend to be affluent and middle class;
- Most supporters of LTNs tend to be affluent and middle class;
- Support for LTNs is much lower in less affluent areas. Residents of these areas suffer from the shift of pollution and congestion from affluent areas to where they live;
- Support for LTNs is a great example of the concept of "Luxury beliefs". These are ideas and opinions that confer status on the well-off at little or no cost, while taking a toll on the less well off.
