Catalina Island

Catalina Island
Located 22 miles across the sea from the Los Angeles county, and is in fact still a part of LA county. This rocky island has been a tourist attraction for the past hundred years. Catalina is roughly 22 miles in length and it's highest peak reaches 2097 ft above sea level.

The only official city on Catalina is Avalon, a laid back seaport village located in the southwest canyon of the island. Avalon has a permanent residence of over 3,000 with additional residence living outside the city limits.

The primary transportation on the island is walking or using a golf cart to maneuver around the city.

Living on Catalina
Anyone who considers living on the island should know the following. Although Catalina is located in a desert climate, the island still has enough water from it's reservoirs to supply the need of the city. They also have a desalination plant in case of further water needs, though it is avoided due to high costs. Also to further save water all the city toilets are run by salt water, which has been know to cause problems in the water treatment plant.

Avalon is also know to have a bacteria problem in the city's bay. This problem has cause the bay to be unfit for swimming, thus has had a negative effect on tourism. The city also closed off a popular road due to unstable cliffs, which has also has a negative effect on tourism. Citizens have also reported a rise is crime in the city, though the city counsel denies this claim.

Only by Gods grace can this city regain what it was once like. Who will lead this city out of it's obscurity? Does it really matter?
