Accounting for California’s Suicide
What went wrong in California? I think we can all agree on at least three observations. First, California is by nature the most richly endowed region in the world. Nowhere else is there so much fertile land, watered by gravity-fed winter runoff from the majestic Sierra. California has ample supplies of oil and natural gas. Millions of acres of timber abound in its coastal and mountain forests. Temperate climate and weather allow outdoor activity almost year round. The coastline is over 1300 miles long — with two of the great natural ports of the world at Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay.
