Can anyone tell me why.....

If they can sell it at home through leveraging local pride and tourists' desire for souvenirs over value considerations more power to them but it seems an awfully uphill row to hoe.

I guess our local similar example is Temecula, which we often refer to as a real estate project put together for San Diegans jealous of how the Bay Area had Napa/Sonoma and we here in LA had Santa Barbara so they created a wine and horsey zone just north of town that they can visit on weekends even though the wines suck.

different strokes, Roberto
