as the department of aging and health services states, programs are not as well formulated as they would like. in contrast, there is a program in marin county called project independence, that is very comprehensive and receives money from the county for the services provided, relying heavily on volunteers. the basic approach is that anyone leaving a hospital setting can contact this organization and receive an array of services based on senior needs. ongoing services for volunteers and check cans, it seems that it is a good program to look at for consideration in san francisco. we also looked at affordable housing options for san francisco seniors. what we found here was a couple of things. the first is that housing complexes and development of feed city sponsorship through the mayor's office of housing. it might even come from a state or federal source. 322 facilities receive without maintaining lists of how many people are waiting for unix. it is believed that that number is quite high. four units in these types of facilities. in addition there is public housing programs run through th

want to talk to you about, and that is how the aging of the world changes places that we live in and changes your lives and my life here in the united states. i think we all owe it to ourselves to see the dynamics of global aging because that puts you, your children, your parents in a global context that is very real in defining the fate of where you live, defining your own professional life and defining the fate of our country. but it's done another, it's had another effect that has interested me quite a lot on the book, and that is it encourages people to rethink where they live, how they live there and what is the nature of the place that they live? so in a way, an aging world makes people redefine the place they have committed their life to, and it makes the places redefine themselves so that people stay there. so older worker have been the most easily discarded in a globalizing economy, especially older industrial workers. so if you look around the country, many of our oldest communities are aging industrial communities in the northeast, in the midwest, and these are places where the older people have stayed there, younger educated pe

now, in -- there were -- i'm calling it the modern golden age of the united states. the two decades from 1945 to 1965. i call this golden age for two reasons. one is that, well, for people of my generation -- i was born in 1953 -- for people of the baby boom, these are the folks who are running the country these days, these are the years of our childhood. and there is this recurrent tendency of humans to look back to a golden age. and if you quiz people, the golden age usual liquor responds roughly with their childhood. when life was simpler. well, of course life was simpler. you were 8 years old. [laughter] so there's part of it. there's this thinking, boy, if we could just get back to the way the country was in 1950 or 1960, then all would be well. so part of it is this individual nostalgia. but part of it, also, is the historically anomalous position of the united states during this time because in a fundamental way the united states was the only victor of world war ii. the united states was the only country that came out with a stronger economy than it went in. am

narrator: across the united states, cities and towns are facing the challenge of aging and outdated drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. it's a national problem. but it needs to be approached system by system. allbee: let's frame the systems in terms of the proper context. we have around 16,000 wastewater systems. we don't have a single wastewater system -- we have 16,000 of them. we have about 54,000 drinking water systems. narrator: issues facing new york city are very different from those in los angeles. and challenges facing small towns are very different from those in metropolitan areas. man: we have to have water supply for health purposes, for fire protection, and the economy. without it, things simply can't exist. woman: we have good health in this country, in part, because we have clean water. and we shouldn't forget that, and we shouldn't take it for granted. melosi: in the late 19th century, serious waterborne disease epidemics were having devastating effects. roy: but then, in the early 1900s, we began to treat our water. and since then, we've seen a rapid d

but i think it's instructive to look at these increases and note that in the united states the retirement age for a believe my generation is going to be 67. in france the increased it from 60 to 62, in great britain women were getting i guess a good deal that age 60 retirement got their retirement age raised up to 65 to parity with men and there is talk of their planning to increase the age to 67 starting in 2020 force of this postponed for a while but they are going to do that. germany is increasing gradually from 65 to 67, the the netherlands from 65 to 66. i mentioned span already, 65 to 67. usually these are phased in over a number of years. it doesn't happen immediately. for a benchmark year life expectancy in europe is currently around 76 years for men and 82 for women and they aren't expecting that's going to go up by about eight years or seven years by 2016. and the european commission right now is trying to suggest the countries should legislate further increases in the retirement age that would keep them in line with increases in life expectancy in the future. but what is interestin
