Reality check on electric cars

Housing cost a lot along the coast in California, because land is limited, and demand is high. That is not the parts where land is limited, and demand is high. You can almost certainly get that house for almost nothing... Unless there is some sort of mineral production possible.

No, the major issue in California is land is limited because government limits it. Housing is expensive because taxes and regulations on homes drive the price up. Demand isn't particularly high because people are leaving California in droves.
There is one small kernel of truth in what you are saying, but mostly it is garbage. Land in the interior of California is almost free to anyone who wants it. It is some of the cheapest land in America. No one wants it because of the lack of water, and the fact no one wants to live there. The land along the coast is limited because it is limited. A huge number of people want to live there, but it is limited.
Now for the kernel of truth. Constructing large/tall buildings along many parts of the coast is very difficult because of limitations put in by the government. Land is not what is being limited by the government, but rather floors. This is driving up the cost to live in some of the most productive parts of America, and forcing Americans to live in less productive places. It is really hurting the economy.

Land is too limited along the coast. The California Coastal Commission is the major reason why. The CCC doesn't want you to build ANYTHING on your land and sure as hell isn't about to let anyone buy public land. It can take over a decade to wade through their hearings to do the simplest thing if you live within their jurisdiction.
Of recent, the CCC killed off plans for a large desalination plant that might have eased California's water shortage. They didn't like the idea of a big industrial plant on the coast.

The CCC is largely composed of radical Leftist environmentalists who seemingly have no other purpose but to say NO! to any and all development along California's coastal region.

I said from the beginning that electric car batteries posed a risk to first responders.
The Pinto got a bad rap, just like the Corvair did.
I had a Pinto SW. Beat the piss out of it and the
drivetrain was intact when I sold it for $50 to a
friend who turned it into a dog coop. Good times...
