Given the evident age of the Mayor and many of the people who had something to say, I wonder just how \'in sync\' they are with the needs of younger people. I would be interested in what the cohort of 16-25 year olds have to say about the debate. If we are at the limits of growth, then how do we deliver the opportunities, the facilities and the future for our young people? 
What is this \"lifestyle\" we talk about? Let\'s define it. And be realistic about it. If it\'s been eroded, how can we get it back? And not just for the 60+ who seem to have the most to say on the subject. Ask our kids! Ask working parents. Ask the unemployed. Let\'s think about people who may be different from you and who may not have the same access as you have to cars, holidays, steady incomes, growing investments and your so-called \"lifestyle\".  
Where can our young people meet safely. Do you want your children\'s \'hang out\' to be the Alexandra Hills Pub? I worry about our youth. They are the future of Redlands and this country. We need to think about the next generation and what we leave for them.
