Thinking of buying a home on or near the California coast? Or maybe a place in the hills with an amazing view of the Pacific? Perhaps a cabin near a stream that flows into the ocean?
Before you take the plunge, bear in mind that a “lifeguard” of sorts is standing by to oversee many aspects of living within sight of the water: the California Coastal Commission (CCC).
Established in 1972 and made permanent four years later, the Sacramento-based commission’s mission is “… to protect, conserve, restore, and enhance environmental and human-based resources of the California coast and ocean for environmentally sustainable and prudent use by current and future generations.”
How that mission is enforced has evolved over the years. Coastal access and unobstructed views remain high on the list of concerns that can potentially affect homeowners even miles from the nearest shoreline.

There are few things better than fresh fruit from your own garden. You can bake the fruit into a pie, toss it in a salad, or just snack on it.
In Southern California, there’s a wide variety of fruit trees that flourish and produce sweet, delicious fruit. Fruit trees, however, can be a bit tricky. You need to have the right soil, the right amount of sunlight, the right chill exposures, and much more. But once you’ve figured out how to care for your precious fruit trees, the reward will be worth the effort.
First, determine if there is enough space for your trees. Fruit trees need to be roughly three to six feet away from buildings and sidewalks. You won’t want your roots running into cement or the base of your house, and you won’t want to risk the tree damaging your home when it grows taller and wider. You will also want to make sure your trees have about ten or more feet of space between each before you plant.
Then, assess the land in your yard. What spots in your yard get at least six hours of sun a day during growing season? Make sure buildings or other trees don’t block direct sunlight.
