Educate me about buying undeveloped parcels (In SoCal)

So things may be coming to a close relatively soon in regards to a recent incident which results in some slight financial gain. The abandoned places exploration thread got me looking... Abandoned properties and even undeveloped.

So, what all does it entail in buying an undeveloped plot? I see some listed in CA anywhere from $8000 to $1,100,00 (and up). If I were to pick up an undeveloped parcel, is it going to cost me much more in the long run or is it something even worth doing? I've heard (rumor) of subsidies and tax write offs if the land can't be developed... But essentially I'd like a piece I could one day build as my own.

Suggestions? Ideas? Input? Encouragement? Discouragement?

As my dad says: "Land is the only thing they don't make more of."
