When you look at a map of Los Angeles, California, you will see that the only area left for expansion is East of LA - The Antelope Valley. The Lancaster and Palmdale areas are showing strong signs of new development and a strong push eastward.

I have the data to show that Los Angeles has the unstoppable population growth and economics for expansion to new areas and will share that upon request. Just consider that even when the economy is slow, builders still need to build or they are out of business. They look for cheap land to build on because cheap housing attracts new buyers. Developers don't stop building stores and office buildings, but look for areas where it is cheaper to build and population is moving in.

When you look at corporations like Walmart and Target and see where they are building new super stores, you will have a good idea of where the population is moving to. New Government buildings, a massive import distribution center - it all adds up to high growth in the Antelope Valley.

In the areas of San Jose and Orange County, 25 to 30 years ago you could buy land for $5,000, $10,000, or $20,000 an acre. Today, try and find an acre there for less than $1 million! You can't.

The only place left for Los Angeles to expand is Antelope Valley and it's happening right now! In the picture to the right, the green arrow is the Antelope Valley area - notice it is north east of LA and just over the mountains. Flat land is desirable for building.
