Just because you can get your hands on a lot of money doesn't mean you're smart!

Only a fool would build a house up on that mountain. The golf course has already slid off the mountain and the houses are likely to do the same. I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to pay the prices that have been reported in the paper for lots in such an unstable area. Used to be the crooks sold swamp land lots in Fla. Now they are selling them in the strip mine capital of the world. Since Mike Ross' financial troubles have come to light, it makes one wonder if he really forked over all those millions to build that interchange off I-75, as has been reported, so the suckers would have access to his new empire. Oh well, A fool and his money. But it makes one wonder if all those unionized Yankee workers who have the money to buy into these con job developments were really worth the big bucks they earned over the years. .

I hear Ross's golf course slid off that mountain. Any reports of houses doing the same?How come we haven'T heard anything in the news about this? Doesn't the media owe it to the public to warn them that this mountain is not a proper place to locate a housing development? Just how many more construction projects will have to slide off that mountain before someone alerts the public?

The Yankees aren't the only folks who bought into the Rarity fantasy. I know that alot of Tennessee people did as well. Especially the so called educated Oak Ridge workers. Are they unionized? Worth the "big bucks"?

There are no houses built yet, so no one has a house slided off the mountain. It is hard for a mountain of rock to slide so get the facts straight first before commenting

Well when your looking off the mountain down into Newcomb and toward Jellico I think it's very pretty.
I wouldn't care to live up there. But I do believe that the mountain slides because my Grandpa said when they were building the interstate that it slid off several times. That sure has been alot of wasted money though.

Everytime my wife and I drive by Rarity Mountain I get a knot in my gut when I think of the amount of money paid for the I-75 interchange. H'mm I think my tax $ may be less because of it. How much political assistance did the developer have anyway? I think the people of TN and others who support the highways are owned an explaination for the $ of tax payer money that may have been spent there.
