Re: Door
I had a dream about an elevator last night. It was one of those freight elevators with a large sliding outer door, plus an expandable screen door. When I approached, the two doors were open and the elevator space was jammed with people as in a sardine can. There was no room for me, and there was no desire on the faces of the folks crammed together to make room either.

I can take for granted elements that make a city wonderfully habitable. Worse yet I can forget that an area might not suit me but be excellent for others. I've never used the Harrison Yacht Pond for example, but yesterday I saw sea gulls taking a refreshing bath. Victoria –– something for everyone!

I'll weigh in here Ms.B.. To me the issue is less about age and more about the misuse of power. Communities must develop better systems of oversight so that powerful people can be kept in check.
