    Katrina disproved that quaint notion.

    Back on topic...me and others have been warning GoD to move out of L.A. since GIM1. The OP is less than a serious rational Plan B.

    I would bet that the number is much more larger than "We" think!
    With the threat of the big one,(earthquake) and old cold war, types still living.

    Bullsh*t, are you either clueless or disingenuous...tens of thousands of people got out long before there was gridlock. It was known for days that a Cat 5 was heading there way...the smart were gone before there was gridlock. You knew that...Book-keeper :]

    General; I agree with the others that say "get a BOL"

    i spent 2 min. finding this BOL for you

    http://www.desertland.com/Joshua-Tre...ffSunkist.html

    ACRES: 1.25

    PRICE: $12,000.00

    OR
    you could buy a 5 acre lot near me for about 35K to 70K

    Here is 3.2 acres for 29K (nice seasonal stream)

    Many lots already have a Mobile-home, septic and well for not much more money
