Family first

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040 I will have a 19, a 24 and 26 year old. I hope that we are able to stay close as a family. We would be able to live in close proximity with each other so I can help my children start their own lives. House prices are more reasonable so they don't have to move far away. I can see them often, child mind my grandchildren and travel with them. I don't want my children to be swamped with debt from huge mortgages, I want them to be able to continue their careers after having children and not have to give up work because of lack of affordable childcare. I us to able to travel together both locally and on ferry to France and UK without it being cheaper to get a flight to Spain for a week than stay locally for a weekend. I want our local government to put people first, building communities instead of just houses. I want my children not to have to worry about going to the doctors because it's too expensive or where will their children go to school because there isn't enough spaces for the amount of houses built. I want my children to be happy and to be able to make memories with them. I want my future to be family!

Una città senza delinquenza e senza migranti
A city must be safe. To be safe it must be without migrants and without criminals. To do this requires certain penalties. Those who steal from Milan and Rome in the metro and on public transport should be arrested and sentenced. This is the only way to combat micro-crime. The future I have described refers to the safety and liveability of cities. I live in Turin and even the city of Turin begins to be unsafe in many areas.

Green energy and it's effect
Probably it will be very different - it is very likely that we will use way more electricity (for instance electric cars), but hopefully most of it will be produced by solar/wind energy without huge impact to CO2 emissions. And with less CO2 emissions I hope climate change will be less of an issue to the world.

I wish that humanity was truly considered equal by all and that racism, homophobia would disappear and that there would be greater respect for women and that bullying in all its forms would disappear so that people could live without fear of others and be recognized as different.

I wish for a peaceful world in 2040. The world is open to other people and religions. No war and no hunger, just a better world where people accept and respect each other. No hatred, no violence and no terror and attacks. No people who die in war or in an attack.
