As you know Thanassis, life here isn't the same as it was some years ago. 
<br/>The young people are growing up and leaving the village to go to the big cities. 
<br/>If I were the Mayor, I would ask the government to create jobs for the young people 
<br/>when they leave school or finish university to try to encourage them to stay in the village. 
<br/>For example, they could bring some of the government offices to the village and that 
<br/>would create work. Another serious problem is that there is nothing for the young people 
<br/>to do in their free time. If we opened a new leisure centre they could spend their time 
<br/>playing different sports or doing something creative. Of course, if we had a couple of 
<br/>cinemas, that would help also. Then there is the problem of the beautiful old houses which 
<br/>are falling into ruin and there is no one to fix them. 
<br/>I would ask the locals to help by giving money. If they gave some money to fix the old buildings, 
<br/>we could turn them into guest houses for tourists to stay in. 
<br/>Unfortunately, there would be nothing for tourists to do if they came, so perhaps we need to do 
<br/>something about that also. 
<br/>I suppose we could turn one of the houses into a museum and put all the historical artefacts we 
<br/>can find in the area into it. 
<br/>We could even make a special room for our local hero Heracles and tell people about his twelve 
<br/>labours. If we did that, we could charge people to pay to enter the museum and therefore raise 
<br/>money for the village. So, the best thing is to let me be the Mayor and I will solve 
<br/>all the problems.
