3.   Fagland’s Dilemma

1.  Jobs

1. Low to mid level service industry jobs - particularly in the West;
2. Temporary or seasonal jobs forcing fags to combine jobs - particularly in the West;
3. Internally transient population caused by unstable earning power - particularly in the West;
4. Huge levels of unemployed or underemployed - particularly in the West;

2.  Demographics and Health

1. Large chunks of population in dubious health requiring medical supervision and medication;
2. Growing numbers of fag baby boomers approaching retirement who can’t afford to live anywhere else and who may, or may not, be in good health. Highly visible in the West now and potentially looming in Asia with years of increasing recreational drug use;

3.  Gay Ghetto Physical Infrastructure

1. Huge shortage of gay nursing homes, retirement homes and hospices - particularly in the West; 
2. The problem has not even been acknowledged in Asia;
3. Large percentage of rentals vs owner occupation - particularly in the West;
4. Slow or non existent fag-originated gentrification - particularly in the West; 
5. Signs of urban gentrification occurring in Asia;

4.  Collapsing Gay Social Infrastructure 

1. Crumbling fag infrastructure with constant pleas for funding outreach and social programs - particularly in the West; 
2. Asia is developing those resources through lobbying and private funding;
3. Desperate attempts in the West to keep up appearances – “our community”, “our village”- in the face of economic forces bigger than them - usually Hetero Yuppification, luxury (and unaffordable to the average fag) condos, mixed and more expensive bars resulting in a dilution of fag-centric diversity; All these cause resentment to the fag.  Asia appears more tolerant to evolving economic and demographic changes in the drive for upward mobility;
4. In the West, the fag feels socially, personally, economically and politically threatened. There is pervasive paranoia and easily triggered outrage as the full extent of the economic issues and political shifts dawn on the fag;
