In addiction to that, we can see a change also in the buildings near the dock. The construction in 1980 were not well organised and all the builings were utilised as warehouses. However, today's builing offerer different types of scopes and a clear organization between them.
On one side of the dock we can see an new hotel and a new parking spot, in-between them one of the original werehouse has been converted in a new apartments comprex. On the other side, people can find three main builings: a converted education centre in front of the ship museum, a new sailing club and a new kid's playing area that takes the place of a 1980 original building.

In contemporary society, people have different views talking about retirement and how the life of retirees people should be.
Following some people believs, the goverment should provide retirees the financial support they need for continue their lives after their work careers come to an end. However, it's started to be more complicated to have the amount of money to provide this type of financial support in today's society, due to the continue increase in older people numbers. Many countries experiences that in the past 30 or 40 years, the number of elderly people surpassed the one of new borns. Due to this phenomenon, the goverment has more people that expected finalcial support and care that it has been impossible to fulfil everyone needs.
Supporting other people suggestion, one way to overcome this problem, is simply to convice citizens to save more money during their working years, in order to be able to look after themselves in the future. Even because this solution removes any insicurity that people can have by relying on goverment choices and allows people to take autonomus decions about how they want to spend the rest of their life
However, this possibility can be tricky, beacuse in order to save money troughout the years, individuals have to make decision on their priorities and this can be more complicated for young generations. Young people don't think about saving money for the future, they are more focus on the present rather than future possibilities. Spending money for today's experiences it is more important than thinking of what our lives could it be in 50 years.
Overall, we can understand that there is no solutions that does not present problems. What is really important is to find a balance in these two options that can allow people to live their retirement in peace, without having to worry about money.
