building more homes in the desert.. lots of AC. Lots of water. And all “luxury”
The real estate agent has dollar signs for eyes ... he does not care about the Joshua trees ... only about the green in his pocket ...
Come out to Mojave where Cal Portland cement company that operates here bulldozed down thousands of Joshua trees last summer in the foothills of the oak creek Mojave area off of Tehachapi Willlow Springs Road. You can see the parts of them laying dead all over the hills East off Tehachapi Willlow Springs Road. When the Wind Farm that is a mile from my ranch was put in the environmentally conscious energy company Chainsawed down massive Joshua trees that had to be over 300 years old. It takes 300 years for a Joshua tree to grow to to full maturity.
There running out of water and they keep building in the desert !
I agree they need to leave national parks alone! And not because of locals but because of the wild life. I moved to San Diego from Washington state because of the military and I’ve never seen somewhere so densely populated. I’ve lived here almost 3 years here and I’ve NEVER seen a deer, I’ve seen a hand full of rabbits and I’ve seen a ton of coyotes running through the cities because they have NO WHERE to go! They need to protect the park and the nature and wildlife!
Not everyone is responsible and respectful.
The poverty rate is also over 20% in all 4 of the towns in this area with a median income of less than $50k
...oh boy... they found us.. 😥
I hope the fish and game vote in June to protect it permanently! Especially for the wild life. I lived both in Joshua tree and Yucca Valley for 9 years both very beautiful
A bunch of hipsters moved there 10 years ago.
Well at least the city of L.A. isn't sending all their Section8 lowlife out there like they did in Lancaster, completely wrecking it.
Gentrification at its best period
That flamboyant "Realtor" hasn't been here for more than 2 years... he relocated here... probably a Black Rock, Wall St. agent.
Thanks so much for this report Kacey! Local housing, camping, and lodging, etc., taxes must be employed to ensure there are funds to protect this natural jewel.
I was born and raised here, my family still lives here. It’s a great place but people moving from the cities are destroying the local economy
bro that's a realtor 🤣???
Glad I was raised in S. Cal got to experience this before this nightmare 🎪🤡👋
In 2011 i walked across America and ended up in the PNW. Namely Bend. In a matter of about 4 years I watched it get completely overran by Yuppies and a-holes. It started with the AirBNB's and food carts. next thing you know, gentrification architecture popped up everywhere housing overpriced clothing stores and restaurants with stupid names like " SPOON, SPORK,CHOW,CLOTHE,FURNISH...Like something out of "They live" In 2015 I traveled to JTREE and started working with the Park service as a trail patrol ranger. I decided to become a wild land firefighter and moved back to the PNW where i lived up until a few months ago when i decided to pack my jeep and head to Bozeman MT. What did i find? ....a bigger version of Bend. so I moved again to IDAHO. guess what... yuppieville. I gave up and said screw it... I drove south. I'm currently in Sedona but I'm already over it...The traffic is relentless and the amount of sprinter vans and a-holes is too much. I feel like I'm always running away from this crap. I'm planning on moving back to JTREE and working with the park again. Is it too late? I'm an artist, creative, kind, compassionate and CARE deeply about the community I live in. Can I come back and be a productive member of the community even if I'm not rich?
I hope these beautiful landscapes and trees are protected once and for all times, forever! God bless
Sounds like a good place for a nice homeless camp
