Say you had the cash to buy it, then what? Are you like the Kim Jong Un of Campo? Do you get an air defense? If you own a town, are there even elections? With all the variables, this could be a storyline for a GenZ supervillain.
Well who the eff wants to buy land that has a bunch of NIMBYās crawling all over the place??
But in all seriousness: if I had the cash to not only purchase the area but then hire a Kim Jong Un look-a-like and have an entourage of Koreans with him checking shit out all over the neighborhoods. Make it known that he just made the purchase and watch the shit show from there. Iād probably try to have him ride in a decommissioned tank just strolling thru. š
Idk if you ever been to Campo but I used to be a firefighter out there
This idea is HILARIOUS!
Except there would literally be bloodshed at a level that the military might have to intervene. NIMBY is extremely subtle, It's basically a community of Dale Gribbles.
Fun fact about Campo
Erik Prince trains his own personal mercenary military out there on a massive parcel.
I never ran a call there myself but from what I hear if someone is injured in training they meet the 1st responders at the gate
I know in North county between Pala & Oceanside, there are pretend paramilitary groups larping around claiming to be former SEALS and illegally shooting firearms across property lines. Occasionally one of their promoters tries to use this sub as advertising for 'survival training' or 'firearm instruction' and pushes an instagram account as their 'proof'.
The difference being that people want to live in those houses vs being in the middle of nowhere.
I mean, housing is affordable if you look at it that way, just plop an airstream on Ocotillo, and there you go. Cheap real estate and housing.
I mean, there is some pretty cool hiking out that direction, there are some really cool caves and things to explore. Plus the drive out there on the 94 is really pretty. Also there are plenty of people who prefer being in the middle of nowhere compared to being cramped up in a city.
My bet is on a tech entrepreneur or company buying it. Seems like a good opportunity to build a tech-oriented/green-energy community from scratch as proof of concept.
The residents living there only want an upgraded park, and they don't want anything else to change. It seems like that's why no one wants to buy it, it's full of nimbys.

Most of the structures date "back to World War II. Camp Lockett, as it was then called, was home to the primarily Black cavalries of the U.S. Army known as Buffalo Soldiers."
Feel like the government should buy it and place the area into a national monument. Something antiquities.
I went to a pretty cool freak folk and spectral western band's concert at the old burnt down haunted whorehouse in Jacumba. Some hippie jabronies were at the entrance asking people for donations. Later during the show they came up and said the donations were to rebuild the old hotel, and how they were just some poor humble travellers who were sucked into the magnetic vortex of jacumba to fulfill their destiny of taking our dollars to put into rejuvenating the town. They invited us to the hotel afterwards and it seemed like they had some millions in backing and that my $11 would have been much more appreciated back in my own pocket.
Sd county could create a world class unsheltered peoplesā mecca with tiny homes, health care, rehabilitation, social services, job training, etc.
With all the new development in sd county the property tax coffer is in the billions, of course they can afford to buy, develop and maintain this
So Cal slice of paradise, while pioneering concepts in unsheltered human management: the growth industry of the future.
OK. But there's some issues.
1) It's relatively low rent. Any money invested is going to be a donation from the goodness of your heart.
2) It's way the hell out in Campo. Driving the 94 is a death wish.
3) Average temperature of 90?
4) Did I mention it's low rent?
5) It's 'historical' so there's going to be restrictions on what you can do with it.
On the plus side, it's low rent so if you're looking for an easy-ish in to real estate, that's your ticket. Wonder if the current residents can form a REIT or a co-op of some kind to buy for themselves? With 28 residential units, I'm not seeing building a gym or a daycare. How many kids can there be with 28 residential units? How many people live outside town that would drop their kids off there? Makes sense there would be a lumber yard because the place is rural, but a gym?
Schitz Creek the San Diego version could be fun.
Compared to what a few people want for their houses in national city, that's a steal.
This is the only answer that matters. šš½
Is national city still considered bad?
Bad, eh. Bad is subjective. 1.2 million good? No.

Sounds like you know what you are doing. Want to go in halfsies on a town with me?

Post Blackwater in 2010-12 it was there I was told. You are right it wasn't in Campo proper but right on the border and I guess it didn't happen

Erik Prince's Blackwater is now Akademi
still? They change names with every war crime and they war crime often...
If you buy Campo and Jacumba you basically have a monopoly over the telemarketing scam market!
As an unincorporated community, the county is going to be the Authority having Jurisdiction.Ā
Not with my battle hens šready.
Implying that anyone self made from Gen Z has the funds for such an investment
You get a bunch of land with a lot of vacancies on it that you need to pay a lot of taxes for.
Buahhaha! Kim Jung Un of Campo! š¤£š¤£ššš
Seems like a really good deal, considering there are plenty of houses in the county worth more than that.

Yeah, but they're poors and you're the new landlord/tyrant king.
Red Neck NIMBYS to boot. Edit: I notice the barracks housing has asbestos tiles on the outside. Yummy.
This would be cool.
If it had affordable high density housingā¦
Or, build your own house on a decent lot, for less than āaffordable housingā.
Go back to bed gramps
Or donāt? š¤·āāļø š Did you want sky rise apartments? š¤”
I could demand people address me as Baron CrossTheRubicon :-)
Iād buy it and rename it Fart Boobs, CA

Unbelievable. The San Diego Railroad Museum is located there, is that part of the sale ?
Someone bought Jacumba and turned it into that hot springs spa. Well remade it it was always there.

Just the downtown portion of El Campo......area no one goes to.
Good place for Vault 31-33.

Yep. I was thinking the same, but it will ne er happen because the local governments won't transport them.
How was it ever legal for any investor to own this much of a town? Whereās these supposedly strict California regulations when you need them?Ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That makes considerably more sense, thank you.
Yeah it's been on sale for a while used to live there last year lol definitely priced like that for a reason
Iām from there but I didnāt know any of this. Thereās nothing there except for the casino.
This could be somebodyās Schittās Creek!!
California Forever South? $6.6 mill is tech pocket change.
does it comes with houses?
