      it’s a consequence of ignoring Demons
      Destruction is a Demon so Christians don’t really like to talk about it
      always about Creation and Preservation
      no difficult topics
      ya Destruction takes many forms it’s a force of nature
      to ppl in #indigenous bodies we don’t see the point in not planning for the entire life cycle 🔁 of everything
      *THIS* is alien to us for the most part
      especially the matriarchal clans

    I live in Los Angeles and have traveled to the Salton Sea about 5 times. Bombay Beach no doubt is a bizarre place to visit with lots of people still living there. One house looks nice, the next one dilapidated, the next burnt out, truly bizarre. But you travel anywhere around the Salton Sea and it’s pretty jaw dropping. Instead of sandy shores the crunch of fish bones 2 feet deep greets you. Another area has lakeside houses with most abandoned with some inhabited but it’s difficult to tell which ones. If there is a car in the driveway someone probably lives there. If what you see looks like an abandoned boat it probably is abandoned. Everywhere you looks is very post nuclear and apocalyptic. It’s incredible. But then Palm Springs isn’t too far away so you can get back to a swanky good time surrounded by amazing mid century architecture.

    In the Bombay Beach segment, you said that the "Colorado River was diverted to create the Salton Sea" as if it were deliberate. It was actually a natural breach of the riverbed into an ancient channel that ended in the low spot where the "Sea" formed.
    Geologically, this used to be the upper end of the Gulf of California before an upthrust cut it off and the water evaporated. There was an extensive salt mining operation there in the 19th Century, and most of the mining equipment is still there at the bottom. The water is evaporating again and will probably be gone in a couple hundred years if left alone. This is a cyclical phenomenon and has happened several times in the past.

The "ghost city" was actually KANGBASHI new city area unveilled in 2001 and just a district in Ordos. Its development & plans for 1M by 2023 came to a halt in 2008/9 but it does now have a population of a few hundred thousand with continuing growth. Certainly not what was expected & this video put out a yr ago by a fellow Cdn, Alex White of Reporterfy Media explains what actually happened & were things stand today.

    What are you talking about ????? Ashgabad you have shown, was built after the Soviet Union, as a capital city of independent Turkmenistan, with only one intantion, to show off. The original city, built during russian imperial and soviet times, still exists with over one million population. However, the government don't invest in its renovation or at least keeping to good standard like in soviet time. Even though the country is very rich, living standards are very low, a world away from the Soviet time .... All money stolen or invested in useless show off projects, like new Ashgabad ....

    17:58 Number1: Ashgabat is the capital of Turkmenistan and is a political-administrative and cultural center. For example, it has a university (founded in 1950) and an Academy of Sciences (since 1951), various colleges, theaters and museums, a botanical garden and a zoo and a total population of 773,400. Not bad for an abandoned city I'd say.

    Does anyone realize that where I live in Florida we have a ton of people with jobs living in homeless shelters because there’s no affordable place to live. It’s sad and it’s scary. If my rent goes up much more I don’t know what I can do. But as long as people will pay it, they will raise it. I used to manage apartments and that’s what I did. But we were not in a housing crisis like now.

    I’ve been to Ordos (first city in the video) and I do not agree at all with the definition of “abandoned city”: as a matter of fact it is the opposite, it is a “not yet filled city”! It was built to host one million people, and only 1/10 (i.e., 100,000 people) have moved in so far. An abandoned city is one that WAS inhabited and later (that is) abandoned. Ordos is filling is more slowly than expected, and it does give you an eerie feeling (which is the reason why I went there), but it is obviously the opposite of a town that has been abandoned.
