People should not fear their governments; governments should fear their people.

Prime real estate

Ever wanted to get away from it all? I spotted this eBay listing for a 160 acre lot in Panamint Valley, California. This isn’t even the middle of nowhere–it’s more like a forgotten back corner of nowhere. It’s the next valley west of the (much better known) Death Valley, and has a current population of (as near as I can tell) twelve. I gather nearby Panamint City does still attract tourists, though, so the transient population might go up by a dozen or two at various times.

I have to admit, if I wasn’t sure the price will be boosted into the stratosphere by the real estate bubble, I’d be tempted.
