OK, we live in LA. This looks like the desert, which stretches for hundreds of miles outside of LA, all the way to Las Vegas. Did the article say where it was? Did they ask these people what kind of education they had gotten for themselves? What kinds of jobs they had been doing? LA is very expensive, but there is the whole rest of the country. If I were working one day a week, I might consider relocating.
I don’t know. I don’t trust the Beeb without more information. I haven’t seen this anywhere in the local news. I just have a couple of hundred questions before I get out the hankie, that’s all.
Hm, multiple posting problem? :P

This is right next to the Ontario Airport. Some day this land will be used for airport expansion.
