I think a super majority is unhealthy politically, regardless of which side has it. That being said, if jobs leave to other states, then so will some of the people and I think we have enough people as it is. Most of this blog consists of San Diegans and though we complain about crowds and traffic at times, it’s manageable. I had to go to L.A. today, albeit it was raining but it took me 3 hours and 45 minutes to go 65 miles. When I left it was 7:30 pm and it was bumper to bumper. Maybe we don’t need anymore more people or jobs, perhaps were fine and other places need jobs and growth.
Perhaps I’m being a nativist, I was born here, my parents and grandparents were born in California but that is as far as it goes so in 1900 my people were contributing to to the growth and maybe there were people here not happy about the extra horse traffic. But is there ever a limit? Can we put up a no vacancy sign at some point, ever?
We added 2 million people from 2010 to 2015, we now have the population of Florida and New York combined.
look at those numbers! 1st in population by a wide margin, 3rd in square miles but 11th in density.
We are the only state in the top 25 of density to be in the top 10 of land, the next #26 in density, Texas, has 2 1/2 times less density. So send those jobs and people to the places that need them, hell lots of them have lost people between 2010 and 2015. I would think the most liberal state in the union, the one who supposedly cares about the environment the most would be doing what it could to deport legal and illegal aliens as best it can at least to other states.
But then again, sending jobs wont help, sorry for the old reference from 2012, but he LA traffic has sapped my energy
Sending jobs wont help because despite having 12% of the nations population we have 34% of it’s welfare recipients so I guess jobs leaving wont reduce the population. It was a good idea until the facts got in the way. I guess I can blame my first sentence of this diatribe.
