Why do people stay in California?

Baz, it shows that I am the only one viewing. Something is wrong

It doesn't even show me that. Wish Pelican would send out an email that would tell us what is going on and what they are doing to fix it.

Maybe we're all dead and this is hell...stuck on PPOT forever with the update feature not working.

Denis, you may have a point there.

I would reccomend you move to Oklahoma, or Kansas, or Montana. Those states will suit you..

You can't be the only one viewing, I'm the only one viewing.

LA is a desert, literally. No water they did not steal

The forum was down? Must have missed that

[sammyg2]

The definition of desert is based on average annual rainfall, and LA was slightly above that threshold the last I checked.
But not by much.

Best to use the Köppen climate classification, based on Evapotranspiration.

LA is a cultural desert but in Koppenism it is a hot scrub or brushland - or bushland, if you include one of its major industries...

How can you call a city with the Museum of Jurassic Technology a 'cultural desert?'

[RWebb]

I had to look that up!

and BTW I never called LA a city - it's 64 small towns in search of a center

Los Angeles is not only a city, it's the greatest American city after New York. Maybe better, depending on how you measure it.

Good idea, but the wife is not the camping type.

I agree with this. And it's a key reason housing costs are nuts. Weather is spectacular. Infrastructure is strained, with more traffic than the freeways can handle, though. Not enough people working from home, still.
