Family members now live greater distances away from each other so as the old become in need of help and care there are no relatives in the vicinity to give it to them.

 

The days of different generations being able to live in the same neighbourhood are now long gone so families grow apart and eventually lose touch.

 

Care homes for the elderly were few and far between in the UK 50 years ago because younger families were usually able to live near their older friends and relatives. However the lack of availability of housing soon put paid to that in many parts of the UK. Some refer to this situation as one of the benefits of mass immigration.

Once again you go to your default thought track and bang on about immigration.

Agree with you, except for your last sentence, immigration has nothing to do with families living further apart now than was the case 50 years ago.

One referral to immigration is hardly 'banging on' about.

I live in London, one of the most densely occupied areas in the UK. Inside the M25 there are around 9 million people.

 

When social housing becomes available it is made available to those most in need.

 

Newly arrived immigrants have nowhere to live so are considered to be the most in need.

 

Accordingly they receive priority when it comes to the allocation of available housing.

 

The local politicians naturally play on their munificence being rewarded when election time comes around. And it pays off.

A lot of research has done into this. You're wrong.
