And Tucson is close enough that you could commute from Tucson, commute from Nogales and other kinds of places. And so having the automobile really helps.

I don't think it needs one. I mean, I think the better company towns, Rockefeller and Standard Oil and the steel companies and the number of coal companies, they had owners who were very religious, right?

But a lot of them felt like they were making their workers better off. They were paying above normal wages Their rents were typically low in these places.
