That is funny.

It's also another PGC-SIA indicator (Permanent Growth Civilization - Self-Inflicted Apocalypse) suitable for discussion on General Discussion.

I'm sorry, Jeff. It appears to be. Google Earth, even.

Sucks.

The phrase "The Geography of Nowhere" comes to mind looking at that.

Should be the cover photo for that book, which was by James Kunstler.

It looks similar to Salton City. Take a look around on google maps here.

There's a documentary about the place too, called Plagues & Pleasures on the Salton Sea. Here's a short excerpt from youtube.
