First Solar recently built a second plant, and Amazon is building a distribution center, both of which will add a large number of jobs.

Yes, southern California will always have people living there, but in the future, most of said people, might be ones able to & willing to pay for expensive water, much of it, supplied out of the Pacific Ocean, through de-salinization plants.

Think about all the brokers chasing that Amazon HDQ2 deal from all over the country, or car plants, or chip plants.Not sure it is true, but I expect the washout rates for both residential and commercial realtors is just slightly lower than for wholesalers. 

is there endangered species, plant or animal?

Whether a property has a chemical plant on it or a parking lot going back over the past 50 years, raises, obviously, different concerns.

For landscaping, we keep the lawn small or non-existant, install native drought resistant plants watered via a drip system, and use large quantities of mulch and/or gravel for ground cover.

There are very specific chemicals that plants need to grow.

I would put up shutters on all windows and paint the entrance door to match; put some plants along the driveway and also plant some color in the front of the house.

It is easy to punch holes through for adding plants as well.

Is it for sure that they've taken that small print out @Michael Plante?
