Ellis Island
The US Supreme Court has decided to divide Ellis Island between NY & NJ,
with
the majority going to NJ. According to the newspaper this includes dividing
the ownership of some of the buildings, possibly on an imaginary line. I
can
see this as either resulting in absolutely no work ever being done on the
dual
ownership buildings, or a strange rivalry developing whereby 1/3 of a
building
is restored and the other 2/3's is left to deteriorate. There appears to be
a
lack of common sense here. I'm reminded of houses in which the south end is
in
one phone exchange and the north end is in another phone exchange.
Any ideas on other scenarios that could develop out of this dual ownership?
