#1 Good idea, totally stupid name. Why advertise? I just don't understand some people.

#2 Not to nit pic, but that is most decidedly NOT a Chicago style hot dog in the picture.
Is someone planning to eat that or have they already?
My money is that that is a Cincinatti monstrosity.

#3 In the old kingdom of Hawaii, the Hawaiian religion had become so "nanny state", yet so murderous, that the king had to create a special estate, so that if someone violated some small rule, and had a death penalty put against them, if they made it to the sanctuary alive, they would be given amnesty.

I mention this because there are an enormous number of felons in the US that "society doesn't want back", yet would like nothing better than to go straight.

So a State could create a "sanctuary city" way out in the sticks, designed to be as self sufficient as possible. The ex-cons would grow their own food, raise their own animals, all designed to minimize the cost of the city to the State.

It would be strictly "good behavior", and the worst non-criminal infractions would result in expulsion back to the regular world. Essentially it is a "sub-minimum security" prison for trustees who can't hack it in the real world, and cannot fit in there.

#5 Street hot-dog vendors have been caught on tape handling food after touching dirty body parts. They don't change the water in which they boil franks. As for relieving themselves, I recall a story of a witness claiming to have seen a food-preparer urinating in a bottle, rather than seeking out a rest-room. Cook your own food folks.
