[Talk-us] Fwd: Re: Ghost suburbs

[Charlotte Wolter]

Richard,

         All good advice, some of which I can't do because I'm 
nowhere near El Paso. It looks like there's no impediment to driving 
on the "roads," if anyone would want to. Where they empty onto a 
paved road, there are some smears of dirt, so someone is using them. 
And there don't seems to be fences or gates.
         It is interesting that some actually have names. I wonder 
what the city or county government would have to say about this. 
Might be worth a call (by me).
         Do we have anyone in the El Paso area who might have a 
ground view of this?
