California City

[PadreBrian]

The water is brackish there, so it’s only good for the odd tree or pistachios. Back in the 50’s the aqueduct and stealing water from Owens lake was the savior.

Sounds like the perfect place for the mega jails of the future for all the dissidents and terrorists.

[quote=paramount]I see California City as having great potential, at least for me.

I have been interested recently in acquiring inexpensive land and dropping a manufactured home on top if it.

It might be out of the way, but at least I will own it and be able to escape this hellish rat race if the need should arise.[/quote]

I have visited. I wouldn’t live there.

Even if temporarily I could place a Park Style trailer on the property if it were allowed.

As far as water goes, I think I could construct a small water tower, and have water shipped in as required.

I was also considering the foothills of the Sierra’s as well.

I really think I could buy a lot in California City for under 10k.

I have also considered Landers and Joshua Tree.

People think I’m crazy when I mention this scenario of buying land and putting a manufactured home on the land. On the other hand this is my current situation:

Yes, I have engineering degrees; but that and .50 cents might buy you a cup of cheap coffee.

I work in the high tech world, I’m well over 40, my company is literally laying off by the hundreds, and I make over 100k.

High tech companies in particular don’t really hire people like me: the perception being we cost to much and make to much.

So if I loose my job I will likely loose my house, so at least I’ll have somewhere to go.
