Jomie Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 sthornton13 - please remember that the reason you are now a 'young professional' yourself and able to afford to buy your own home is, in no small part due to 'old people' who fought for your freedom in the war, taught you throughout your years of education, cared for you when you were ill, provided your food, clothing and shelter, not to mention those members of your family who brought you up. Judging by your out and out ageism the latter could have perhaps done a better job in teaching you to respect and be kind to everyone, regardless of age. You would not have made such a comment about ethnicity due to racism laws but you can disparage an entire section of the population. Your comment is offensive to older people. You may wish to reflect (or not) that you too will be old one day, in which case hopefully young people will have better manners than your own.

None of that means that you want to buy a bungalow in an area filled with retired people! I thought it was supposed to be the young who were snowflakes, looking for offense, but if you represent the elderly then apparently it afflicts them as well. Oh, and you're wrong regarding racism. If someone wants to ask for a predominantly white area, they can. They'll get taken to task for it, but it's certainly not illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bargepole23 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Totley, Dore, Fulwood, Crosspool, Bradway and Ecclesall Rd South. Good Luck You'll need it with a 200K budget....nice areas though. Our first house was a terrace in Ranmoor, great area, quiet but within easy walking distance of restaurants and pubs in Broomhill and Hunters Bar, and there are some great pubs and restaurants, and local shops, in Ranmoor/Nether Green. Again though, I think to buy that same terrace house now would cost me more than 200K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed reading this and every thing you have wrote I agree with you. The young professional could have worded the ageism differently. However I do hope they find their dream home.

Inappropriate rant snipped. The o/p was simply asking where do young professionals tend to congregate in Sheffield. These areas tend to be full of like-minded, "creative" people with no, or very young, children. They form a social network that goes on to support the startups that (hopefully) become the companies of the future. Oh, and they like the same music Back on topic - has anyone mentioned the Kelham Island area, or is that going to be too pricey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
