Real estate developer Nat Mendelsohn purchased 80,000 acres of land in 1958 in an attempt to make a utopian city that rivals Los Angeles. What resulted is California City, CA, a well-planned city that sits relatively empty.
California City is the third-largest city in California -- land-wise that is -- but fewer than 15,000 people reside there today, so it's the 361st largest city in California by population. Look at a satellite view of the city, and you can see what Mendelsohn's vision might have been -- if only people had agreed to move to his utopian paradise. You will see 80,000 acres of streets and a manmade lake. Doesn't sound like a failure, does it? Not all the streets are built on -- yet, but that is slowly and surely changing. Overpopulation and rising prices in Los Angeles and surrounding areas have finally spurred growth in California City. So, maybe Mendelsohn's utopia will happen after all. View California City Guide
