The world’s homeless don’t live anywhere near these places and even if they did, where are they going to get running water and food from. You’re not making any sense.

I live in Los Angeles and have traveled to the Salton Sea about 5 times. Bombay Beach no doubt is a bizarre place to visit with lots of people still living there. One house looks nice, the next one dilapidated, the next burnt out, truly bizarre. But you travel anywhere around the Salton Sea and it’s pretty jaw dropping. Instead of sandy shores the crunch of fish bones 2 feet deep greets you. Another area has lakeside houses with most abandoned with some inhabited but it’s difficult to tell which ones. If there is a car in the driveway someone probably lives there. If what you see looks like an abandoned boat it probably is abandoned. Everywhere you looks is very post nuclear and apocalyptic. It’s incredible. But then Palm Springs isn’t too far away so you can get back to a swanky good time surrounded by amazing mid century architecture.

I use to go there as a kid back in the early 60's. The water was awesome, easy to float in, lots of fun!

In the Bombay Beach segment, you said that the "Colorado River was diverted to create the Salton Sea" as if it were deliberate. It was actually a natural breach of the riverbed into an ancient channel that ended in the low spot where the "Sea" formed. Geologically, this used to be the upper end of the Gulf of California before an upthrust cut it off and the water evaporated. There was an extensive salt mining operation there in the 19th Century, and most of the mining equipment is still there at the bottom. The water is evaporating again and will probably be gone in a couple hundred years if left alone. This is a cyclical phenomenon and has happened several times in the past.

I’ve been to Ordos (first city in the video) and I do not agree at all with the definition of “abandoned city”: as a matter of fact it is the opposite, it is a “not yet filled city”! It was built to host one million people, and only 1/10 (i.e., 100,000 people) have moved in so far. An abandoned city is one that WAS inhabited and later (that is) abandoned. Ordos is filling is more slowly than expected, and it does give you an eerie feeling (which is the reason why I went there), but it is obviously the opposite of a town that has been abandoned.

Bombay Beach is the saddest one for me. Goes to show how humans just destroy everything. We don't deserve this earth.
