The property goes from about a doller for a square kilometer of dirt, to a few hundred thousand dollars per home, and the quarter-acre of land it sits upon.

Walk away having made a few hundred trillion dollars. After the land was fully sold off, simply pack up and take your weather device with you. Watch the suntanning rich people freeze. Suckers.
