Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Francis_Dam

I noticed this:

> St. Francis Dam was completed in May, 1926. [...] The dam cost [...] 1,300,000 dollars.

These days, in many parts of the U.S., $1.3M wouldn't build you a decent upper-ish class house.

100 years from now - will $1.3M even buy you a scoop of ice cream?
