1464738 2019-10-29 20:41:00 www.theguardian.com As I find the world around me getting noiser as I get older a small island looks heavenly (in theory). It must be hard for residents to leave but maybe some older people will find access to various services makes life easier for them where they re-settle. Interesting fact that two thirds of Canada's 37.5 million inhabitants live within 100kms of it's southern border with the US. bellbird (6169)

They go there to get away from suburban life & live like carefree semi-hippies.
Then complain endlessly about the high cost of ferries back to CBD etc , and the fact that ferries back to the rat race arnt 100% reliable
