How full...is too full

Thats a tough one. Compared to Ca. Property is cheaper. Cost of living is cheaper. And it has a lake. I think raising a family anywhere is difficult and it has more to do with the parents/family as a whole vs. the environment.

Aside from the obvious, better schools, better hospitals, more expensive drugs, more choices for just about everything, raising your family in Ca. can be every bit as difficult as Havasu or any other resort/vacation town.

On a personal level, I would seriously think very hard about raising a family in a vacation/resort city. Too many distractions and too many opportunities to not do what you're supposed to be doing, like going go school, studying, and doing your homework. At times I remember doing homework because I was bored. If you get bored in Havasu you should have your head examined lol.

I wonder if it's gonna drive the so cal crowd back to mead

I think it's about 400' deep....as I've SAID BEFORE... THEY DROPPED MEAD 150' ON PURPOISE .. they wanted it lower... so they lowered it... lots and lots of nice sandy beaches.. plenty of room to roam around... about 500 miles of shore line

150' aint no joke. Why would they do that?

I believe I read something about water politics a few years ago.

Quite a few reasons... major one was the spat between water authority and blm.....they couldn't put in the new straw unless the water dropped 150',...next the sq miles of water surface was causing millions of gallons of water loss to evaporation, also there was not enough current is the shallow areas like overton and vegas wash... so those areas were just causing water pollution to millions of gallons of water...the stagnet water was horrible....now mean is super clean water and my boat doesn't get the bad scum lines like havasu...

Know very well what you're talking about, you should see how crazy Lake of the Ozarks has gotten the last ten years, it's a ZOO now, it used to be a quaint small town, now it has all the big box stores and chains, I liked it better before it got this busy, almost to crowded now.

i'm wondering whats gonna happen when they start building on the California side...I was sitting in the hot tub at the havasu house and looking over there, seem to be a lot more lights, and the traffic coming down the hill was none stop...
