Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The true story of a tragicomic, once-obscure, far northern California backwoods ghost subdivision, why it failed, and how it eventually drew national attention The peculiar history of Mt. Shasta Vista, a monumentally failed development that elevated dysfunctionality to an art form, Welcome, Now Leave explores the unlikely past of the contention-drenched remote subdivision - 1,641, 2-1/2 acre lots over seven square miles - that flew off the tracks almost from its start.In deep-diving into why the 60-year-old backwater went so astray, the author, a 46-year resident, knowledgeably examines his wayward realm's outlandish history with the eye of a bemused anthropologist and timing of a deadpan humorist.Mostly history, partly memoir, it tells of the hopes and dreams (and self-interest) of lot holders and realtors as the arrested development, chameleon-like, transforms from shared campground to fledgling retirement community, to countercultural, code-ignoring back-to-the-lander magnet; to sea of rogue cannabis growers.The writer, at 35, having reluctantly conformed to building code, rebels against his imperious older neighbors by hosting a hippie rainbow gathering, driving them apoplectic and making regional TV news. Decades later, shoe on the other foot as bold growers, mostly Asian American Hmong, snap up hundreds of empty parcels and gain national attention, he at 67 adapts to the radical change.Related issues covered include: the Uniform Building Codeoff grid solar living in rural Californiahistoric Back-to-the-land movementsystemic U.S. racism against Asian Americanscomparisons to similar rural developments in the regionthe cannabis boom in rural CaliforniaWelcome, Now Leave is part local history, part social satire, and part elegy for a strangely enchanted lotus land. One that has forever sought a place in the sun. Readers will gain a new understanding of how easily the quest for idyllic country living, ever elusive, easily goes astray. A resident's wry chronicle of a failed, far northern California rural subdivision's chaotic evolution, from campground to sedate retirement community to battleground of lifestyles, to haven for rogue cannabis growers.
