"Our current growth, about 300,000 persons a year Births minus deaths, dubbed “natural increase,” still account for more than two-thirds of California’s population growth, but as the gap narrows, it slows growth." Thank you for posting. Some good data in there. I think context is important to review how staggering California's increase in population has been over the past 100 years. I know people who moved there, love it, but do talk about how expensive it is due to high population density in the coastal cities. It's an old joke "Nobody goes there, it's too crowded!" I did mention Texas and Florida as the other destination states. California has problems, but among the 50 states I'd argue it is one of the more successful ones. |
Well, there was the whole bankruptcy thing. Most people that lament California do so for its crime, traffic, high taxes and regulation, and general incompetence of local government. It's a place that I would like to visit, but there is no amount you could pay me to live in California.
