V you raise a valid point on the supply and demand front. However I have heard this since I left the military a thousand years ago. I agree that there has been an erosion of our income however I must disagree on the lifestyle issue. Goodness I remember a time when all we had was long life milk. (despise the stuff) Today Dubai has all the comforts and yes the troubles of a biggish city. Having experienced both era’s I can tell you there is no contest.
