I know this is not going to be about real estate, but then on second thought it just might be.

It was announced announced on Tuesday by United Airlines as it prepares to roll out service from the L.A./Palmdale Regional Airport terminal to the Bay Area that we will have some special round trip air fares available to us from May 22 through June 7 (they may or may not extend these prices past June.)

Prices from Palmdale will include $170 for San Francisco, $248 for Portland, $254 for Denver, $268 for Seattle and $318 for Boston, Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C.

"The $1 million question is: Will there be enough people to sustain the service?" said Mayor Jim Ledford. "I hope so."

What does this have to do with real estate you ask? I told you it may not, but think of the possibilities if the really takes off (pun intended)! We will have real airplane flights in and out of Palmdale! This has been tried, and failed, several time in the past so you've got to believe that sooner or later its got to take hold, and I for one think MAYBE this is the time.

What good will this do us? Just think, we will be more like the big guy's with flights in and out all day long, more airport noise and air pollution...... NO WAIT, I'm going off in the wrong direction here. I meant to say that this would bring us better transportation options and increase the possibility that more people will travel INTO Palmdale to do business.

The more business done in Palmdale or Lancaster, the more people will want to make "God's Country" their home. Which will in turn help the housing industry as a whole.

See, I told you I might make this about real estate!
