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.

LA resident here. This city is enormous and the climate varies from area to area. The more westward you go, the more coastal the climate, the more east, the more desert-like. The more north, the more forested/elevated. The more south, desert again.

In LA you are anywhere from 25 minutes to about 3 hours from all of the following:
Deep desert--like straight up Mojave
Mediterranean wine growing climate
Snow
Mountains
Forests

According to Google, Mojave desert is about 4 hours away by bus from LA, so I wouldn't exactly call it nearby, at least not near enough to call Del Sol Valley a desert world anyway.
