Hi Jim -

But if it were really a 50 mile radius, we're talking 50 x 50 x 
3.141592... = 7,854 square miles (which is a little over 5 *million* 
acres - I think its about 640 acres to the square mile).

I don't know what land is going for around the 'burg, but even 
conservative estimates would put the worth at (maybe?) a few hundred 
billion dollars...
