AP tonight had a story about how crime has exploded in these boom towns. I know a older probation officer and he believed contrary to conventional wisdom, crime increased during good economies.
People have more money to waste on drugs and booze and then get themselves into trouble, like hanging out at strip clubs with a wad of cash.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Reminds me of Alaska when the pipeline was being built, guys couldn't get up there fast enough to take the high paying jobs only to discover that the cost of living was commensurate with their income. I guess a guy could buy an RV or a pickup and a cab over camper and live in that to help reduce housing costs... Entertainment at the gentleman's club is always going to come at a premium.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Oddly enough I was thinking that the same pair of trucks, one refer full of kegs of beer and booze with taps on the side so you could park a couple of tables in front of the taps and use it as a bar, the other trailer would have the push out sides like the more expensive RVs do. I'd add a tour bus fitted with bunk beds for the performers, after all they need a place to sleep after long shifts of dancing...
To make it work you'd have to come to some sort of arrangement with the local authorities tho... The problem with get rich quick illegal schemes is you end up on the wrong end of the law every time.

I like it! The only trouble is that trailer is a what the Aussies refer to as a road train - US DOT won't allow them in most parts of the US. Maybe the US solution is more trailers that can be parked side by side or end to end to form a larger structure.
