Because of the general look of the land, and the lack of old faded brick factories here, people somehow seem to assume that what happened in the Rust Belt cannot happen here. Very, very naive.

But but....California has sunshine!

I lived in the Rust belt, its interesting talking to oldster from the Rust belt, because gives you a good sense how entire regions can boom/bust in this country. Some coastal communities will likely to say desirable, but it will be interesting to see what happens to the rest of the state.
