Maintenance of such places can be very expensive.

If someone were looking for a Math formula to estimate how many Illegal Aliens (from Guatemala) could be humanely housed inside the Cleveland Harbor Lighthouse, wonder what that would be? As a hypothetical exercise. Not that such a plan would be any under serious consideration, mind you!
There are likely many interior cubic feet now available for the filling.

I wouldn't mind owning this one in Nauset on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Went there on my honeymoon. A very picturesque spot.

Companies should take care of them and use them as kickoff sites.

The way the management of our country is going we had better be prepared with some redundancy in navigation, basic communications and energy. As one example these fools eliminated nuclear plants and public telephones that provide redundancy and communications when cell technology in urban areas can becomes insufficient due to excess demand as it did during 9-11.

"The U.S. Is Giving Away Lighthouses for Free"

"Free" does not take "for."

"Free" means "for nothing" or "in exchange for nothing" so "for free" means "for for nothing."

"For free" is a redundancy. It should be, simply, "free," all by its lonesome.

In the author's defense, the editor always has final say on the headline, regardless whether it was the author's idea or the editor's.

Journo 101, never use a long word (or phrase) if a shorter, simpler one means the same.

syntax error in headline = F

Here's one: Port Townsend, WA

Features excellent view of the bay, the Olympic Mountains, the Cascade Mountains, and Puget sound, never used, built circa 1990 by newly arrived Californian with lots of money to throw around.

Would love a lighthouse but am not a big ocean fan. Wonder if I could find one around Casper, Wyoming? :/

I watched one of those fixer upper shows where a guy bought a lighthouse in Maine I think. It looked outstanding when he finished. But what a pain in the neck to do the work. Every supply delivery was a major production.

That’s Lynde Point... beautiful lighthouse...I’d want the New London Ledge Lighthouse, so I’ll have nice neighbors. I might have the Ghost named Ernie living there! 🤓

Ah, the scenery, the isolation, the gentle sough of the sea to help you fall to sleep, the omnipresence of Nature’s caressing hand. I’m thinking...machine gun nest.
