The very idea is impossible over on what we Washingtonians call the West Side. The people over there are some of the most progressive, caring, sensitive, compassionate people outside The People's Republic of Massachusetts and the San Francisco/ Beserkley corridor. Just ask 'em. The authors of the study must have gotten the location wrong, and really meant somewhere in Utah, or Texas, or Alabama, or some such.
Just give me Colville, Wawawai or Colfax and I'd be happy as a clam half hour before being dug.
