the soon-to-be ghost towns, so long, farewell, goodbye

dubhain, trelana, and I went to look at a house today. If the owner doesn't freak at our occupation, or our cats, we'll probably end up renting it.

The view from the backyard is interesting. Very Vegas. Numerous homes descending to the left, Black Mountain looming to the right, and a never-to-be-completed condo building lying in tatters straight ahead. Even within the very nice gated community, once you drive past a certain point, you have a road ending in nothingness and lots with half-built walls and nothing more.

Coincidentally, I happened across this passage today.

28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’

Looks like some developers weren't reading their Gospels. I now have this intense urge to head down to the Strip and spraypaint "LUKE 14:28" all over the Fontainebleau.
