not everyone is affected by the state being broke. Most people still have jobs and most people didn't over pay for their homes.

Here we go again ....

Do people really keep "flocking in droves to CA?" I'm not sure that is still the case.

Never the less, California, like every where else, has good and bad characteristics. Is there a more specific question we can answer for you?

I'm doing fine, tank you veddy much. My business is tied to trucking, and that's a healthy sector here in the IE.

By the way, the scaling back to 4 days thing affects the non-productive sector of State employees.

If you limit the discussion to Americans, California has a net loss of population.

Step 1: It's not Cali. Cali is in Colombia.

The biggest driver of California's population growth is natural increase (births over deaths). Something like 2/3's of the total in a typical year. The balance is from foreign immigration (legal and illegal).
