California City

Fun bit of RE history:

(article is from 1990, but still relevant)

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=california+city,+ca&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=42.03917,86.308594&ie=UTF8&t=k&view=map&ll=35.188119,-117.790089&spn=0.109569,0.17046&z=13&iwloc=A
(Switch between “map” and “sattelite” view to get some perspective)

Remember: “they aren’t making any more of the stuff…”

That sounds a lot like the Salton Sea. A really cool documentary about it came out a few years ago.

Trailer

I show it to my students as part of a lesson on environmental policy. Maybe I should be using it and California City to teach them about economics (except I’m not an economics teacher).

pri,
Those scars are from 1958, not 1990. But yeah, I agree, there will always be a bank who will blow tax payers money in the name of profits.

Look up Nat Mendelsohn for details on the Cal City 1958 development.

Hehe:
pri, from your link:

“It was a landmark case, no pun intended,” Donney said, describing the largest refund ever obtained to that date by the FTC. The settlement also called for a written warning on sales materials given to potential buyers. The caveat, reminiscent of the warning on cigarette packs, reads: “You should consider the value of any of our land to be uncertain. Do not count on an increase in value.”

It is a lasting legacy. The warning is still found on California City tract maps.
