Seems to me there are at least two sides to our young people emigrating. One - they are enticed by better pay and opportunities. Two - serious lack of opportunities here. Honestly, are we not just a little bunch of islands stuck to the land? If you want to fly there's virtually no chance here. My children went 25 + years ago and are happy with their lives. They consider coming back but cannot see a life to come back to. 60 years ago I stayed put here as I was pretty sure I wouldn't want to come back and I needed to be here for family.
I find it all sad. We just grind on opting for the lowest common denominator. We are just like Samoa and other Pacific Islands. We lose qualified experienced people. i don't know if health professionals are still on the liability side of the ledger - ie they cost too much. The days of being on the asset side disappeared.
Bernard i know you want housing for people and so do I but seriously, who'd want to live in most of our neighbourhoods? Boring, materialistic people.
