Selling off property question and problem.

Will there be ducks in the zoo?

Animals need water and power. You don’t have much of either. Running a business is costly? What differentiates your zoo?

What is the tax burden?

I like the course of action of not selling the lot because who knows who your new neighbors might be , not starting a petting zoo as the regulatory issues of operating a animal business in California.

What I do like is you raising your ac repair side business prices to what a dealer charges. And do more ac repair business on the side.

Without knowing your financials, it's hard to say whether or not you should sell your land. Knowing what I know about you, I am guessing your heart is saying no? You just said how you won't like how it'll change traffic and such. I imagine privacy would drastically change too.

If you're entertaining the selling of your land, why don't you entertain moving out of California?

Maybe a cellphone company would be interested in putting a tower on it. You say it has power and a good view.

Have you considered moving to Texas? LOL

Don't let it go unless you feel like you must. You will probably regret not having control over it once it is sold. Keep it like others have said unless it is a burden or you need money.

Thread 'American culture re-written - the sound of other cultures'

Jan 24, 2026

After retirement I moved to a rural area from a very metropolitan area. I was tired of the constant barrage of noise from music, loud parties and just plain disrespect from those around.

Where I live now, I cannot see another home from my property.

But, over the last 3 years, several people have bought land not far away and it seems they brought their cultures with them.
What used to serene, quiet, peaceful nights is more and more become VERY loud music and parties by spanish speaking people.
One of them apparently brought an amplified music system with them such that it can be heard...

Our (her) plan for the lot is to make a petting zoo and charge admission.

I think the rest of your points are really personal preference, but operating a business is not something that you can casually do if you want it to be successful. Just because you have a plot of land doesn't mean running a petting zoo is going to be a great business idea.
