Kathy, I don't think that I have ever heard of a city/town giving up that status and becoming part of another city or town. Let us know if Cabazon is successful in becoming its own city again.
Kathy, so nice of you to stop by my blog....I am joining your So Cal Pass group today. Kept forgetting. I've looked at the blogs and members and I like them. I will send over a post and introduce myself when I think of something clever to say. I am so impressed with all of the creative writers here on AR. I read something on another real estate site knocking AR because of the points. I am trying to get in the top two spot in Temecula. I know I have a long way to go regarding blogging compared to yourself and some of the others that take it very seriously. So if you want to give me any pointers I am all ears.....
I forgot to say something about Cabazon. Kind of missed the politically correct comment. Actually approximately 4 years ago I was trying to get my husband to invest in vacant land in Cabazon. He thought Victorville was better. But I argued that Cabazon was less expensive and had more potential for appreciation BECAUSE OF THE CASINO!!! I'll bet I was right I usually am!!!
Kathy, It sure sounds like it's on it's way to becoming it's own city. I think with the building that is going on and the Casino many people would love it. Are you allowed on the Reservation? I KNOW I would love that :)
Hi Kathy,
Very interesting, I had no idea. I don't think I've ever heard of a city voting to unincorporate??? Do you think it will pass again?
I could certainly understand why they would want to become a city again and take the tax dollars and do some major improvements, but I'm guessing now they will have lots of corporations fighting against them, including the mall and the casino!
Neal- Interesting....is it a small area?
George- why hi there :) I am sure they will succeed. This whole area is changing drastically.
Jane-First we will be happy to have you in our Group, and second I would say in the long term Cabazon is a good investment. Let me know if your husband changes his mind....there are some good deals to be had :)
Carole- The Reservation is gated now, but the general public can go on there for certain activities....like the Rodeo, and a few other activities. The big Pow Wow that they have every year is by the Casino so you don't need to go through any of the gates. This year the Pow Wow is Sept. 26-28th if you can make it :) :)
Lynda-I am surprised at many things that Banning and Cabazon have done....yes, I am pretty sure that Cabazon will again be a City. We have a really good County District Supervisor and I think Politically it is a good move. I may be wrong, but I don't think so.
Todd-Yes, I would think that the tax dollars have a lot to do with it. The Cabazon of the 70's isn't the Cabazon of today, and some people like the changes and some don't.
Hi Kathy-
Thank you for your wonderful comments on my recent loss. You are so wonderful!
I am impressed that Cabazon has applied for citiship. It does make sense. Heck the outlet alone probably brings more tax revenue than a comparable small town. Add a few roads, a few developments and then add in that fun place to shop ( The outlet center). Sounds like a good formula for a new small city.
William- As one that spends quite a few of his dollars at the Outlets, I am sure you know that those tax dollars are huge :) Amazing what a difference the past several years have done for this area.
I hope each day has gotten a little easier for you.
Ok so I had a brain storm! I saw the Route 99 and thought......I have always always wanted to do the Route 66 Trip......its a little bit zigzaggy these days.........but here's the thought.......
I either fly or drive down to California -.......pick you up..........and we take the Route 66 to New York to visit Carol......(and anybody else on AR we know thats enroute )....?......Thats would be 4 Goals......Meeting you, Route 66, Meeting Carole, Going to New York!......."Oh I"m so excited.....I just can't fight, I'm about to lose control......"? Is that how the song goes? lol
How about next May Vagabond girl?
Liz- A Road trip.....so we will start at the 99 and go to the 66 how cool is that? I actually took the 66 from here to New Mexico....and there are some fantastic spots that seem to have been frozen in time.
America really is a beautiful country....and this part out here is still wild and so much undeveloped. Thank God :) Anyway, I love love your idea.....but May won't work......I will be going to Canada in June, then up to Alaska. I skipped a vacation for this year, in order to have that one for next year :) Also you want to go when it's not high season.....still warm, no snow, and no hurricanes, fires, tornado's, etc.....hmmm wonder when that is :)
OK, this Vagabond is excited to go......call Carole :)
We have a similar area in Davie or is it Southwest Ranches...I'm not sure but they changed it to the unincorporated town of South West Ranches
