Greed

[cactuswatcher]

The Super Bowl this year is going to be played just a few miles from my house. I'm not much interested in pro football, but the amount of money people are willing to pay to go to the game is astounding. The paper this morning says that round trip plane tickets from Boston (where one of the teams playing comes from) for that week are costing $2700 each! The week after the cost is $363. The cost per night at one of the fancier hotels in Scottsdale will be $700 with a four night minimum! It's not as if the game runs for four days! And Scottsdale is on the far side of town from the stadium!

Call yourself a bed and breakfast, charge $500 per night, and make a couple of bucks.

I did get a flier stuck under my windshield wiper at the grocery store parking lot, from a broker suggesting those of us in my neighborhood do just that!
