Everything and anything you can possibly want can be found in CA -- from snow and desert geographies, to Japanese anime and Star Trek meet-ups. 

Too bad they are blasting the AC with 110 desert heat, and leaving windows and sliding glass door open all day. 

Incompetence and powerlessness for real change in Sacramento, with no real hope for proper urban planning for all Californians beyond vacant luxury apartments, McMansions in the desert and gridlock traffic spanning all the way to Las Vegas. 

He stays in mobile home parks, truck stops, parks, out in the desert . . .

I just found it hard to believe there were such high water uses in the desert.

Its a beneficial thing to bring goals to the surface and just share your thoughts with like minded people who can support you.I’ll start: I will find a location in the south/southwest to house hack a single family residence; preferably one with little yard maintenance I.e THE DESERT, or give the responsibility to my roommate, in exchange for a discount on rent.

Perhaps some home office space will become a big feature in the residential rentals.in our new construction coming up we have a few plans that have Casita's this is the Portland Or market.. were Casita's were not that common like in the desert.. but I can see them having a dual purpose based on companies allowing workers to work at home your casita is now your office still at your home but separate from the family flow..

And if that means a single plant in the desert with almost no water and no chance for a thriving life, so be it.

My brother was a Marine drill sergeant who did 3 tours in desert storm.

That total desert in supply has been filled by in large by small business's.
