LOL - California Pines Land Pimp?

This is so funny. If you saw this character in this land pimp outfit on TV advertising cheap land wouldn't you run screaming? I'm sure the outfit and rhetoric is just an act but come-on... who in their right mind would think this is effective advertising?



I think people that bought land there could still build a getaway cabin but a few things would need to happen first.

1. Dissolve the POA (Property Owners' Association) and turn the road maintenance over to the county who is already collecting taxes on the land. Then sell any remaining shared property owned by the POA and split the proceeds between property owners. The primary reasons to do this are to remove barriers to owner-builders that have been added by the POA and that the subdivision is a complete failure requiring no continued POA management.


2. Develop a model for a sustainable home (rain water harvesting + composting toilets + grey water system) and get it approved by Modoc County. Since this kind of setup would be extremely low impact the community and environment would benefit.

By eliminating barriers for owner-builders and empowering them with low-cost alternatives for water & sewer, building a remote vacation cabin at California Pines could instantly make financial sense, a first at California Pines.

Existing homeowners would likely see increases in home values because the demand for lots would begin to increase. Instead of speculators looking to flip land they would begin to see new neighbors begin to build cabins.

Modoc County would benefit because the overall value of the subdivision would increase yielding more tax revenue and outside money.

The only losers in this scenario would be the few people running the POA and the land flippers.
