    I'm also seeking 600 acres of abandoned land, preferably in Orange County, California. With the average new home running over $500K in my zip code, I might just be able to pay off my Mastercard bill.

    (And, no, there's no way I could possibly move into my neighborhoood today - so don't ask to borrow any money, OK?).
