My son phoned me today.  He lives in a very large city around 350kms away, and nearly always calls me once a week.  He and his partner have been looking at small 2 bedroom dwellings to buy, and even a small 2 bedroom on a shared block sold out for $900,000. It’s so disheartening for young people.  If I had to enough money to become a property developer, I would find a way to build nice affordable dwellings.

My son said how he envied my generation, and especially for the way we were able to live as children with a lot more freedoms than children today.  I think generally that us true.  I told him how the reason I moved  to this small timeless town was because it v reminded me of some parts – good parts of my childhood.
