Bring it on--maybe I could finally afford a house around here!

I don't think you understand what I mean.

The area would turn into Detroit, businesses would leave en masse or close down. I'm talking on the order of 150k people losing their job either immediately or when the govt. contractor they work for shuts down.

You wouldn't want to buy a house in the area at that point.
