California City
Understand
Location
California City is located in the Mojave Desert north of Los Angeles.
History
California City was a master-planned city in the desert. More than 200 square miles of the desert were covered by roads. However, people did not move into the area until more recent times, and the city is slowly growing in population.
Get in
By car
California City Boulevard connects Route 14 to the city, so if you're on State Route 14, come off at the California City Boulevard turn-off.
Get around
Although the populated part of the town is compact, getting to the still-uninhabited outer regions of the town requires a car.

gollark: Sort of, not really; they still have a profit margin, so if you *can* pay for any expenses insurance would otherwise pay for yourself, you save money, excluding government subsidy shenanigans.
