TJ, I inspected some properties north of Escondido in the UnAuction site a few days ago and they do look tempting. As I mentioned [in a post] I wondered about water supply, since it's quite a desert environment. But I wouldn't need lots of water anyway and could cart truckloads in now and then from import wharves near Oceanside bringing wonderful water from the Deep Cove tail-race of Lake Manapouri electricity generation.

I could buy some supertankers which previously shipped oil if oil supplies dwindle [due to insurrection] and transport wouldn't be very expensive per litre. A supertanker shuttle service would be quite profitable.

The properties were not cheap enough for me to get excited. I can see how they'd get cheaper for Americans who need to work because the commute is too much with oil costing a lot. It's better for them to sell and move to an apartment downtown, or sleep in their cubicle at work.

50% off sounds good, but that's off a fantasy list price which had no relationship to reality.
