My friend was telling me about this and when there is deep deep snow many people are completely trapped in their homes. It seems a good incentive to encourage young people to buy property, but of course they will need employment.

Many of our villages here in Uk have altered. since supermarkets appeared, then so many local shops post offices etc disappear. Quite a few wealthy people buy property as a second home, and local young people mostly are unable to buy a house for themselves at a reasonable price.

People need to live near their workplace really don't they-- or face long, expensive journeys.

I found a site with some photographs of former villages, many reminded me of our own villages not so long ago.
