Though this presentation might seem as somewhat of a joke to some people, it touches a fond spot in my heart! You see, my brother whom I love very much, lives out there. I'll always enjoy visiting him and Bombay Beach no matter what the area becomes⚠️
@@GPCalifornia Oh, I was not referring to you, my friend! I'm aware of your good intentions of displaying the change of the area. It was because of some readers comments that I noticed some didn't accept your work with sincere appreciation. I, however, do as there is beauty in what the heart feels❤️
This is such a great lesson in understanding that all decays and do not believe the hype. The grifters are always waiting to swoop in. That “miracle” in the desert was created by a civil engineering mistake.
What about we populate large cities with tens of millions residents in a desert with no water and steal the water from the nobody's of the north ? Developers made a deal with the politicians and we got the SoCal shit show
Oh people go - but it's not the resort destination it once was - which is a shame. It's more like the end of the line now. Part II -> th-cam.com/video/Tl1I3lptrgs/w-d-xo.html
The lake slowly became very salty and the fish as well as bird life died off, making the area very unpleasant and caused tourists to leave and never return. The lake levels also slowly dropped as renewable water sources were redirected away from the Salton sea. Now it's a ghost town with nothing remaining but the memory of the once vibrant community which moved here to enjoy sand, sun and the Salton sea.
@@freshimpactco.8698I've lived here for seven years and the population has gone from 2,500 to 7,000+ , with a new casino, travel plaza, two stores, two schools, and more homes being built. How is that a "ghost town"?????
@@BTScriviner same thing goes for a good majority of cities in the southwest. Look what's going on with lake mead and lake powell. It's drying up and these huge cities in the desert are about to be fighting over water rights.
I live in Salton City surrounded by extremely nice homes, hard working people and a VERY peaceful, cheap and quiet life. The air here is cleaner than LA (Do your research!), and all you showed was the abandoned buildings in ONE town, around the entire perimeter of the lake, that is remote and cut off. Have you seen the homes here where millionaires and celebrities live to be in peace? 🤷🏽 But keep the "toxic" narrative and keep my taxes cheap. Thank you!!!
The intent here isn't to degrade the sea and its salty residents - but to highlight the absurdity of the decline from the time of the travel reel. Bombay Beach Salton City. I get it. It's just that there isn't much left from the "glory days" of the sea left in Salton City - it's moved on.
This video it's a joke... mocking !. And at the same time it's a shame for our federal and state careless government all along the past years and the actual as well. They haven't done anything.🖕🖕
@@GPCalifornia I was going to respond, but you stole the words from my reply. That's the beauty of this video with some harsh reality humor, reality vs what it was propped up to be years past.
I love the way you integrated the old sales pitch into the apocalyptic present, well done!
Drove around Bombay Beach today. Still shocked this post apocalyptic wreck of a town was ever supposed to be luxury living.
It's shocking - I was just back there this weekend - still beautiful - and still apocalyptic!!
I spend several Spring vacations there when it was a luxurious place. Sad what has become of it. BTW, I'm in my 60's.
Reality is a bitch 🤔

For what it's worth - It's not meant as a joke. It's fascinating to see/compare the evolution of the area.

What a great video. I only hope the narrator is still alive and gets to see it.
Hmm. A sea resort in the desert. When you already have an ocean next door. That's some good marketing, right there.

This is very funny, very clever . I live their in Bombay by the way
Thanks! You're a Bombay Beach resident??
Hey Will,when can we stop by for beer n pizza ?? 🍺 😎 👍
cool video
thanks! more Salton Sea uploaded to the channel!
At what point in time did it go from fun to tragic !! 🤔
Couple weeks ago
Probably in the mid 70s when the flooding destroyed a lot of stuff.
👍
Well it only lasted less than two decades from creation to toxic wasteland 😮
The French Riviera of the desert south west.
So does noone go to the Salton Sea anymore? What gives? Used to be a huge boating destination....
Oh people go - but it's not the resort destination it once was - which is a shame. It's more like the end of the line now.

Nah. Not noone go to the Salton Sea anymore. /
OMG 👽
Developers over the years have completely fucked Cali up
It's very jarring to hear the audio with the video of what it looks like today.
100%
live there I mean
Juzt subbed
Thanks! More Salton content to come~
I'm surprised some conglomerates haven't come in ans revamped the area. Why is is like this what happen ? Anyone know ?

I got a great idea, let's build a city in a literal desert. What could go wrong?
Well… look at Phoenix 😂 it’s not too far fetched
@@maddy680 phoenix wouldn't exist if if weren't for technology to get water to the area.
What about Las Vegas?

Don’t move to Texas we’re full and already have a border crisis.

are you mad at the video.... or the outcome/reality?
