There is the counter example of Detroit. The loss of industry in that city killed the real estate market. There are still people selling houses there for $1 just to get out of the property tax burden. That is far from a typical result but at least serves as a reminder not to put all your real estate eggs in one basket. Kill some time, play my game Hop Cheops[^]

    I understand your point, but disagree. If someone kills for financial or similar gain, then I tend to agree - they've made a decision to put that above someone else's life. When someone does it for other reasons, I tend to think they're insane. If someone does it because their dog told them to, obviously barking.
