The properties were out in the middle of nowhere. Before I did the first one, I thought it might be kind of fun but now I just feel wrong about it. On the other hand, I slept in a parking lot of a closed business and it didn't bother me and I...

I'll keep that in mind. I don't anticipate I'll be going into America (I don't have a passport, and the current political climate is not favorable for my life) but nothing is certain until it happens, and new York and New Orleans are on my bucket...
