RE: House, Apartment, Studio, Room... Street? .:. Late Night Blogging
Hey! That is Alicante! I stayed in the Melia Hotel on the pier a couple of times when I was in Alicante for work.
Hehehehe... You recognized it well... It's Alicante photographed from the Santa Barbara Castle... 😃 But, in the post I was writing more about Valencia, as my son is going to the University there...
The government 'forces' elderly people to stay in their houses as long as possible.
I wouldn't imagine telling this, but it's actually not a bad push by the government... If elderly people didn't have their own home, it could be much worse...
I'm really curious if we will get out of this impasse because I do want my kids to be able to be able to live on their own in a couple of years.
It's hard to live with parents when you are an adult... It could sound nice moneywise, but it's not good for anyone...
Elderly people used to go to a retirement home at a certain age. But now they are encouraged to stay in their 4 bedroom houses. Here in our neighborhood we have a lot of large houses being occupied by 1 or 2 elderly persons, sometimes far into their nineties that would have been better off in a retirement home.
Don't get me wrong; they fully deserve to live there. It's their house.
But if they stay in their houses, the new families can't go from their small appartements to a big house and the appartements will not be available for starters.
There just is no flow at the moment.
