>>>>It is old and not efficient to run

No it wasn't. That was the 'official' decision. There was an entire story behind J. Hoover and John Kennedy. It was more of one being a nudge to the other.

>>>>The state gets local approval and the legislature approves the money.

If enough people expressed an interest in it being reopened a bill could be submitted.

CA could work out a deal with the feds whether it is buying it, leasing it, or something.

I just don't know why the locals wouldn't want it reopened.

I said it was old and inefficient. You said "no it WASN'T." You need to move out of the past tense. Your information is 40 years old. You don't just turn a key and turn an old facility into a useful prison. California prisons are currently holding 2-5 times more than Alcatraz will hold. Don't have to worry about staff living in one of the highest cost-of-living areas in the country. Did you know this is a conservative site? If you like to spend tax payers money, get elected as a democrat.

If you think you can get another prison in San Francisco, go ahead and work on it.

The rock is a big tourist attraction. Why close a money making federal park and turn it into a losing operation. Makes no sense, except you have your mind made up.
