Yes, I do too. Ripping off the righteous took in over $5
million from Kelowna last year, and one year Alpha or Omega
took in over $40 million!
The end of days types really fall hard for that sort of
thing. One fellow professed faith from a waterfront home
(rented) and naturally sent his kids to Christian school. He
decamped with well over $12 million. Clyde Hood and group had
a wonderful time, with an associate based in Seattle.
I know, but if someone has to be the victim, it might as well
be...

Kelowna, in fact the entire Okanagan Valley, is a
dessert
environment, the fruit crops and orchards there
all irrigated with
water drawn from the series of mountain-fed
rivers and lakes that run
through it. This sort of environment was central
to a classic of
noir, or at least neo-noir (if that's important
to you): Chinatown.
The sequel dealt with unsuitable land
development. Always lots of
potential for noir in land development.

Ripping off the righteous. I like it.
