A good point

Want to develop your city? Kick out the old people.
"Elderly people don't want an increase in rates to build infrastructure when they're not going to live long enough to enjoy or get the benefits from them. And the irony is that in 10 years' time, when all the so-called baby-boomers retire, history may well repeat itself as we're not going to want that either," he said.

Instead of kicking them out of town, what about turning them into Post Office drop boxes and coffee carts, a la the Simpsons?
