http://www.cityforsale.us/ Not really, but an unusual human-interest story worth considering. This isolated midwestern city had a population of 15,000. Today it is less than 7000. Passive local government has accepted decay as a way of life. More than half the stores in the downtown historic district are empty. On the other hand there is a superb supply of mountain lake water. Amtrak leaves daily for Chicago and Los Angeles. A fine airport hosts business jets. There's a complete infrastructure. This is Raton, New Mexico, ready for international REIT attention and a unique opportunity for print, radio and television human-interest reporting.
