[quote=Zeitgeist]That is a growth industry and should be reason enough to buy land there for future investment.[/quote]

Private prisons are a growth industry, I agree. I have family that live in Florence AZ – home to a state prison, a county lockup, an INS facility (aka prison), and at least one CCA facility. This is a small town that found their economic niche.

(And yes 1 cousin is a corrections officer and another used to be a social worker in the the prison system.)

Hey – for that matter, why not move to Florence – you can pick up a 2007 home for well under $100k.

And, hey, they put in the super Walmart over in Coolidge – so it’s not the boonies anymore.

[quote=teacherSD]That sounds a lot like the Salton Sea. A really cool documentary about it came out a few years ago.

I show it to my students as part of a lesson on environmental policy. [/quote]

I hope you realize that the current Salton Sea was created by the accidently breach of a dike in 1905 during a heavy rain season. It’s kinda like a puddle of water that develops during a heavy rain, only to evaporate when the weather is drier. Why we feel we need to “save” the Salton Sea is beyond me.

Reference:

The creation of the Salton Sea of today started in 1905, when heavy rainfall and snowmelt caused the Colorado River to swell and breach an Imperial Valley dike. It took nearly two years to control the Colorado River’s flow into the formerly dry Salton Sink and stop the flooding. As the basin filled, the town of Salton, a Southern Pacific Railroad siding and Torres-Martinez Indian land were submerged. The sudden influx of water and the lack of any drainage from the basin resulted in the formation of the Salton Sea.

Salton Sea was created by the accident

An old saying – “A doctor’s mistake is buried 6 feet deep, and an engineer’s mistake is a standing monument”

[quote=Colombo]An Engineer making over 100K in salary should know the difference between “loose” and “lose”.

Just saying.[/quote]

Are you kidding? That’s one reason why I went into science in the 1st place, my grammar stinks and my math skills are only slightly better.

In this economy if you have a 6-figure income and you get RIFed, it’s unlikely you will get back to 6 figures anytime soon if at all.
