It's all a buggers muddle, isn't it tegan ?

Too much of this "one size fits all" thinking. There is a sort of same but different here, fair amount of housing going up, but bugger all in the way of increased job opportunities!

Has anyone just watched the discussion with Esther Ranzen and a few others about older people downsizing and the need for more 'retirement villages' etc with a feeling of disbelief that they were actually the people being discussed shock. They say that older people moving to retirement villages will free up a lot of homes for families but, they're buidling one near to where I live and, even if my home was worth twice what is [plus the fact that my pension would have to cover extra expenses] I couldn't afford one of the apartments there. And I don't want to live surrounded by people of my own age..also, my home will probably have to be sold anyway to pay for a nursing home one day sad.
