They made the same comparison you have to the crappy alternative, all those mobile homes now mothballed in Arkansas. Also, do you know about the annual TED Conference in Monterrey? I was browsing through their site and came across this guy, winner of one of 3 TEDPrizes this year. http://www.ted.com/tedprize/2006/cameron.cfm. I thought his dream might appeal to you.

Perhaps they could sell the thousands of toilet seats that have been stacking up for years, through democratic and republican presidencies. Private enterprise builds better mousetraps than government ones do. This is a cute cottage.. and they can add on to it in stages. When do they start going up?

Steve Oubre lives in our old hometown of Lafayette and is a sharp, creative guy. I wish the project well.
