re: Trump is announcing he is going to rebuild and expand Alcatraz for violent criminals

Uh... Have you ever been to Alcatraz? 75% of the structures are either badly dilapidated or have fallen down. There are three cell blocks in relatively decent shape, only because they're still standing, but will still need to be demolished if a substantially expanded prison is going to be built. The utility infrastructure dates from the 30's. And it's on a small island surrounded by some of the most expensive real estate on the planet, which will massively inflate costs on its own, as the people that build it, and the people that work there when it's done, will presumably need somewhere to live.
