Building a structure that met some projected future need would not be cost effective now...and likely wouldn't be in the future either, given the accuracy of your typical projections of future growth. I'm sure you could think of some other places that fit this model, right Chuq? :} ------------ "...I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing: and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress, while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization." - Petronius Arbiter, 210 B.C.
