Why California needs a specific plan

large West Coast market with high traffic, high regulation, and wide pricing differences by submarket. This is useful for buyers and sellers who need specialty-asset screening before spending time on diligence. California pages should stress environmental review, fuel contracts, lease terms, and local compliance early.

For buyers, the work is to avoid paying for upside that is not proven yet. For sellers, the work is to explain value clearly so the right buyers stay engaged through diligence, financing, and closing.
