twister: Actually I think that a lot of people who wind up in Trona ask themselves that same question from time to time. Not everyone enjoys living in the desert and most people prefer to live in some kind of area with more in the way of goods, services, and recreational opportunities. Trona is a great place for certain kinds of people, but it's not for everyone. And as long as the topic is plants, it's not a great place for most types of plants! Like you say, either the summers are too hot or the winters are too cold for the vast majority of plant species.
