      Climate journalism slapstick of the day is finding a guy who says it's getting harder to live in DEATH VALLEY. Yes, I bet it is! https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/10/us/west-heat-wave-death-valley.html …pic.twitter.com/TYygIbjb0Y

      In the American desert west you occasionally come across little pockets of mobile homes in the middle of absolutely nowhere, and I always want to know their stories. One irony of poverty in the US is that mobile homes aren't. The people who can move live in RVs.

      Are extremely remote enclaves in inhospitable places like Death Valley explained by just by poverty? I’d imagine moving somewhere like that would be more expensive (since you need to supply much of your own infrastructure) than less remote alternatives.

      But I suppose once there, without sufficient money to move, you’re stuck.

      Yes. And if you’re prepared to live a bit differently than most people assume, the infrastructure setup can be less than the cost delta of setting up a situation on more valuable land in the west that someone won’t eventually mess up for you.

      Maybe, but my sense is that people move to highly isolated and inhospitable places for reasons that go beyond economy. They’re looking for something affordable, yes, but also for something else. The isolation is less something they’re willing to put up with than a feature.

      I’m also guessing there are regional factors at play here. People in seemingly isolated places in the east (parts of Appalachia, etc) may be more likely to have grown up there and have family nearby than people who moved to the middle of the desert, etc.

      There's some places (like the Salton Sea or upper plains) where the remaining people are just kind of left over from more prosperous times, and others where they intentionally go to get away from everyone. I'm always curious which is which in these remote-ass towns.

      The deprecation of Route 66 created a lot of these places.

      Sounds like a Pynchon novel

          It's effectively 1/3 of the plot of "Cars"...
