The California City desert-town-promotion-gone-wrong is one of those stories that can be recycled and presented as new every few years on slow news days. This iteration is no different.
What is amusing is how many RWNJ commenters trash the CURRENT California administration over this plan, exactly as though the original 1950s plan were a CURRENT project and promotion. The scam’s heyday was in fact during Ronald Reagan’s governorship in the ’60s.
I commented to the Brown/Democrat bashers, “The promoters are either dead or so old and senile they get all their information from Fox News.”

Ummm, also not a “suburb.” There is no “Urb” anywhere near it. There were a bunch of these desert planned communities that popped up around the 1960s. Some were misguided but real attempts at development. Some were scams from the get-go.
