For some reason I was reminded of this girl I worked with at the end of high school. We both lived in a coastal California community where the average cost of a home was over $400k. Both went to the same high school. But, she had no electricity at her house. Apparently her parents had bought some property in the mountains in about 1980, and had built their house without ever getting building permits, or ever running electricity to the house. So if they needed electricity, they ran a generator. When they were done with electricity, they turned it off.
Seems really odd having that place no more than a mile from an upper middle class beach town. All the other houses in the mountains had electricity (but they were built legally, apparently).
