Thank you for your kind comment! Yes, it's not helpful to think of myself being responsible for an unfair system. It's something that sucks all round and is a lot bigger than just me in my waterproof, habitable house.
We just had an election here last month and the party in favour of selling off all the state housing got an even bigger proportion of the vote than last time. I have been thinking of finding what I can do for the fairer parties other than voting.
Trains!! I envy you your excellent trains! I am now in a part of town where I can walk up a steep hill to flag down a bus that comes along twice a week, or carry on down another steep hill and walk for quite a distance to get to a bus that goes every hour. At the old house I had a 20-minute walk on flat ground to the bus stop. Not exactly an improvement. I haven't used a bus since I got here because it's so inconvenient.
