Matt R. every desalination plant currently under construction is either using existing salt water discharge facilities or has had the discharge approved years ago.

You can easily maintain this with some kind of off-site paid storage facility that becomes just another business expense.  

We have a big need for MTRs since there are so many healthcare facilities downtown. 

Looking into quasi-RE ventures, like senior centers/communities and care facilities that the government is least likely to mess with.

I'm working with a local broker and he's presented me with this deal: Self-storage facility located in Oregon.

Our tenant broke the lease agreement on several clauses recently by running a legal grow facility without our knowledge.  

Would you rent your downstairs unit, knowing some stranger who rents the unit above would have access to your home, in order to go to the laundry facility in the basement? 

Your post, @Steven Westlake, reminds me of others here asking about car washes and self-storage facilities. 

May they need to go to a care facility.

Actually, the more I think about it, CA landlords might want to start including a clause that says just that - the landlord is not liable for PG&E outages.I found the following from this website: https://www.stimmel-law.com/en/articles/landlord-obligations-habitable-premises-basic-california-lawThe Statute:In terms of residential leases, in order for a landlord to be allowed to place rental units on the market, the landlord must first ensure that all of the following conditions which make the building ‘fit for human occupancy’ are met: [Civil Code Secs. 1929, 1941]Effective waterproofing and weather protection of roof and exterior wallsWell-maintained plumbing and gas facilities compliant with law in effect at the time of installationWater supply compliant with applicable law that is capable of producing hot and cold running waterWell-maintained heating facilities compliant with applicable law at the time of installationWell-maintained electrical lighting compliant with applicable law at the time of installationBuilding, grounds, and appurtenances kept sanitary and free from debris and vermin at the time of rent or leaseSufficient number of receptacles for garbageWell-maintained floors, stairways, and railingsLocks conforming to code [CA Civil Code Sec. 1941.3]Dead bolt lock on each main swinging entry doorWindow security or locking devices for windows capable of being opened
