My brother says that in some places in Northern California, gasoline is almost $7 a gallon.

By the numbers, and many of my OH counterparts have discussed this with me, I would have to do any 3 properties in OH to match what I can do with 1 MN Twin Cities property.

George, the number of firms in an industry depends upon the demand for the final "product" (we don't have many typewriter repair shops anymore ... no demand) and the barriers to entry into that industry, either economic (large capital requirements) or regulatory (charter requirement).Generally speaking, as the number of firms decreases, competition also declines and the consumers of that industry's product pay higher prices for lower quantities.I would LOVE to have the only gas station in town and persuade the town council that I alone can safely deliver gasoline without risk of spills or explosions.
