Perhaps you should just make up an entire set of rules so the board suits you totally and completely and submit the entire list at one time so as to avoid all these useless and senseless threads you keep starting.

Unibomber's house.
SNL is a sucky January rerun, BTW.
Actually that place is a little shack my friend built to keep his tools out of the rain while they're setting up their property. Three friends split a nice piece of property that's already appreciated by thousands.
Of dollars, not local hobos.

Kewl. There's a downside to property appreciation, though. You make out like a seller once.
There was an interesting letter to the editor here about that the other day. A town some 20 or so miles out is scheduled to have a big new plant built, and a house-building company wants to come in and throw up 150 or so houses at value circa $175K each. This longtime resident is asking: is this what we (he and his) want? Soaring money values to replace community and community values?
He's got the question right. Dunno that it can be stopped.

As long as people don't simultaneously complain about growth/environment and unemployment/wages I have no problem with them. But I find a lot of people have unrealistic expectations that they can have it all without sacrifice. And that goes for both sides of the argument.
For those of you from green areas:
That would be what we desert dwellers call foothills property. Building is prohibited in the hills themselves (they are generally kept as natural areas). To understand its desirability think backing up to a national forest.
Having a view of the hills means having a classic Tucson pallet of colors and shadows play across the hills in the background at sunset.

I love spending the night. A little fire out front and twinkling lights in the distance. Trains running down in the valley. They got a deal because the well wasn't too good. Had to buy a cistern and pump, plus haul water. Buying on the outskirts of Tucson is a no-lose proposition.

It is said the jobs will go to imported people, as the houses will be built by same. The Tacoma company pushing for the housing development had the noive to say, at a public meeting, "We care more about your community than you do." Shoulda been a posse and a rail right then and thar.

I have failed to convey that this community of about 7,000 has a median housing value maybe half of what these proposed houses will be "worth" and incomes well below state and national averages. People choose to live in a community like that out of need or desire. Will its absorption into the bot be better for all, and is it what they want? I salute local fights for local communities. Both the political decision to site a controversial industry there and the economic decisions to bring a large quota of unaffordable housing there are from without.

A glass-making plant. Apparently resource-intense, and to be sited on filled in floodplains. Which won't displace water runoff "much," they say. I'm not agin' it -- or for it. It is not my community. I am not satisfied that the siting is good. Water displacement around here is everybody's business -- and concern.

Company town, company store, just like West Virginia. OTOH, Litchfield did it and essentially created a middle class from the blue collars in his town.
As for this little town, I just wonder where those people work and where they get their money.
RCA did a fine job with their glass plant in Chillicothe, but that's in Southern, Ohio. The kids off the farms around there were quite happy to get work without having to move away.

The people in this town are thinkin' the employees are gonna be imported, just like the rest. I guess they'll prob'ly get their chance to see.
As to the housing development -- equivalent to 10 percent of the houses now there, I think, at 160 or 200 percent value, that one reeks ... to me.
Meanwhile, where I am, folks are starting the bigtime trickle-down (is that an oxymoron?) from parts Northern wherein they are richly employed by the gubmint. I could definitely use a few of your muskets to keep them peoples out.
