California lawmaker proposes selling San Quentin prison - CNN.com: "State Sen. Jeff Denham is proposing selling the 432-acre prison, which offers a breathtaking view of San Francisco Bay, to garner money for California.
'Our inmates just don't need an ocean view. Let's level it off,' said Denham, a Republican.
'Let's rebuild something for the community there and reap the benefit for the state by having that money come in,' he added.
Denham estimates that the property could sell for as much as $2 billion, even amid a down market."
