Man-camps Come With the Territory

This is a man-camp, folks. A 400-bed facility in Colorado. Gas drillers stay here. It looks like it takes up a huge area of real estate- just one more facet of the natural gas industry which is taking up space in otherwise beautiful landscapes, forests, and natural habitats all over our country. In Bradford County, PA, some motels are completely taken over by gas drillers, for example, the Towanda Motel. Tourists are just out of luck. So man-camps may alleviate that problem. It's still not a welcome addition to our communities. Finding lodging for gas drillers while they go from place to place is wreaking havoc. I have heard reports that some landlords are evicting tenants of longstanding in order to rent to gas companies from whom they can command high rents- as much as four times greater than the average rent now.
