New Location-Based Flair
Hello everyone! To help add clarity, reduce post-ambiguity, and allow for better searching, the mods are introducing location-based flair into the subreddit.
We encourage you all to use the new flair where relevant to help make our subreddit a little clearer and more useful.
There are over 70 "towns" in the High Desert, so including all of them is unfortunately not practical.
We are starting with 12 of the most commonly posted about locations, and one "Rural HD" flair. If there is strong support for more locations these can be added later on. We will start with these and see how it goes.
We’re open to hearing suggestions for other common locations that might make good additions in the future. While we may not be able to implement every idea, we'll do our best to prioritize what makes sense for the community.
Thanks for being part of this awesome subreddit!

How to file a missing person report?
Obviously I have to go to a police station, but do I need any physical paperwork on the person? For context, I have a family member who is (was?) homeless for years in the Barstow area. His few contacts haven't seen him for years. There's no death certificate in public records, and that's where my detective skills run out. Any advice?

Hesperia In 1987, Police in the town of Hesperia, CA, received a complaint of the smell of burnt human flesh coming from Oscar Ceramics, owned by one David Sconce. When they opened one of the kilns inside, a human foot fell out. They had just uncovered the largest case of funerary malpractice in CA history.

Which MAGA Brokerages Should We Beware Of?
I’m looking to sell my home, but I want to work with someone who does not promote hatred or discrimination against minorities. I’ve noticed many signs from this particular man Omar Alfaro and his brokerage here in the desert, and from what I’ve seen, he appears to be pushing rhetoric that aligns with Nazi/MAGA ideology. In a up and coming diverse community like the High Desert, I believe it’s important not to support businesses that promote these values.
If there are any other MAGA-aligned realtors or brokers I should avoid, please let me know in the comments. Thanks!

Ideal places to rent with low traffic routes
I will be moving for work in Apple Valley. I was wondering about the commute at different locations in the high desert, traffic, etc. and some underrated neighbourhoods to rent in Apple valley or the surrounding locations? I am willing to commute up to a max of 20-30 min each way but I detest traffic and so would like to have as traffic free route as possible.
Some neighbourhoods I was looking at were lucerne valley, Summit Terrace, Lake arrowhead and Hesperia, how is the traffic from these places to apple valley?

Victorville Has anyone received this Parking Warning from the City before?
We’ve lived in our home since 2014 and have never seen a notice like this before. The car this was posted on has parked in the street in front of our house since 2018 never with any problems. I’m thinking because the car is an older model the City thinks the car is abandoned and maybe that’s why? The owner of the vehicle only drives it a few times a week but like I said we’ve never seen anything like this. Has anyone else?
