Isn't LA at least near a desert, though? Serious question from someone who has never been outside of Europe. But in most shows and movies that take place in the LA area, a desert is usually not far away. And while I wouldn't call Del Sol Valley a desert world in the true sense of the word, my head does put it in the same general region as the true desert worlds, and the same will probably be true for Chestnut Ridge.

Speaking of which, I used to say that the new world will probably only have 12 lots again. But now that four game changers have built three lots each, which amounts to 12 in total, I'm hopeful there might be 14-15, if only because every world usually comes with at least one completely empty lot.

I believe LA has weather like southern Italy and Greece, it's mostly dry and sunny but it's not a desert. Also, every year they seem to have forest fires which implies that there are forests in the region.

Yep. They call that a Mediterranean climate. It’s pretty temperate along the coasts (I don’t in in LA county, but within several hours drive). We don’t really have forest fires as much as chaparral wildfires, but trees are not a scare commodity in SoCal.

One would have to travel east over the San Gabriel Mountains to get to the Mojave Desert (which is in Kern County so not “LA”) and Death Valley is located there too.
