Assuming you are looking to stay near Bishop, I would consider the drought situation in California. As you probably know in the San Juaquin Valley many wells have dried up. Probably the same on the eastern side of the Sierra's. And, you know of the amount of water that heads south to LA. With a city well they would provide the water and find another source if needed. With your own well or community well owned by the HOA you would face the cost yourself or share it with the community if you had to drill deeper or relocate the well. I have my own well and in 12 years had to pull the pump once when a check valve failed. Though our drought is not as bad(yet) I do have concerns about the aquifer. Farmers also pump a lot of water out of the ground. My neighbor just spent 10 grand for a new pump and control. Well was about 15 years old. If you locate a place you like make sure your research the water situation with the seller and county as well as some local well drillers as they usually have a good handle on the water situation.
The idea of relocating somewhere more affordable is worthy of consideration. But, Bishop and the eastern side of the Sierra's in general is a pretty nice place to live.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
