        I recall when I visited in (many years ago), that there was something about the state wanted them to stop dumping raw sewage in the bay and that was one of the cost issues (building a wastewater plant). I'm sure there were many high costs associated with it being an island.

        Thank you for your historical moments in time. As a young girl, Alcatraz was the view from out my bedroom window. I would count the lighthouse flashes from there to lull myself to sleep.Treasure Island was where my family was stationed.

        I think it should be reopened as a place for @realDonaldTrump his criminal kids and the rest of his co-conspirators. They can continue the daily tours. It will be much more realistic with actual prisoners in the cells. No need to renovate, it's appropriate as it is now.

        Non famous Alcatraz "guests". Crime? not sending kids to boarding schools. "History is written by the victors"~Churchill. Victors also redefined: EQUAL? (were created) FREE? (land of). Not disconnected from "guests" story, below. Urban legend? Hopefully?https://twitter.com/notaxiwarrior/status/1016024932642275328 …
