Presumably there would be video? There is no explaining the tastes of Nebraskans. b^) I doubt the numbers would favor the felons, however. After a week or so the survivors will have hitchhiked to Sioux Falls.

#5I'm confused. This town is in South Dakota, but the house linked to in the article, from Silence of the Lambs, is in Pennsylvania.

It seems so: "The South Dakota real estate agent said one Nebraska man said he want to buy the Swett ghost town and bring 2,000 Russian women and 600 convicted felons to live in the town. He wanted to build acrylic houses for the new residents to live in and set up cameras to run 24/7 and film the interactions, Syracuse.com reports."

I think I would define it as more of a hamlet, if that.

We are at a point in time when the wealthy are extremely wealthy. The billionaire club is substantial but even below that, personal wealth in the tens or hundreds of millions exists. What do people want to do with that wealth? It's more than can really be spent on comfort, entertainment, sex and such. Once upon a time money was power, or could be converted to it. Roman Consuls put personal wealth into political enterprises. They were the system of government and the wealth was intertwined with it. But, the main point was they had social, societal and military ambitions.
Where are the people today who would like to create a 1,000 person community? Where are the wealthy who would like to try a bold experiment in communalism, anarchism, feminism or whatnot?

It's just a short drive to Wounded Knee; that would make it a convenient tourist stop all its own. "On your way to Wounded Knee, stop and stay at the haunted bed and breakfast in Swett!"

#106.16 acres is a really small town. That's practically a large lot in rural towns.
