An entire town is available for $7-million in Northern B.C. How cool is that? Here are the specs:
- 92 houses perched on a mountain's edge in a tranquil ocean inlet
- Seven apartment buildings
- Fully equiped hospital
- New X-Ray machine (potential Death-Ray?)
- Two recreation centres
- Brand new shopping mall
- 80 hectares of wilderness (paramilitary training area)
- One km of beach (to practice beach landings)
- Power lines, telephone service and sewage connections are intact
Wow. Who would not want to buy that? Unfortunately I spent the $7-million I had on an effort to release funds from a Nigerian bank account. I am still waiting for the billion dollars I was promised.
So I wonder, if you buy the town, can you set up a municipal dictatorship? Make your own laws? The municipal government has a fairly powerful level of autonomy though it must have to operate within provincial and federal guidelines.
What would you do with your own town? How would you populate it?
My favourite quote in the article about someone who owns land in the area speaking about when he visits is: "he loves racing through stop signs at top speed".

Right now I am プータロー (unemployed) in Calgary. I will head back to London Ontario in the beginning of October and plan to get a job in Japan at a career fair in Boston in late October: http://www.careerforum.net/bos/enevent.aspx
