		<description><![CDATA[In the United States, where they have a quaint habit of collecting reliable data that sheds light on matters of interest and importance to their society (unlike Canada, where we consider this practice outrageously intrusive), data from the 2009 American Housing Survey have just been released.
For the 65+ group, the most common reason for moving [...]]]></description>

Today the median age is 36.7 and the oldest boomer is 64. Del Webb died in 1974. I don’t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read a comment about this recently. The writer was hypothesizing that as costs for seniors’ housing and health care rise in the US, Americans might move to Canada or Mexico in search of more affordable alternatives.
