One of things that I found amazing is that Arizona will be a Top 10 state in population by 2030. I would expect that population growth in Arizona would likely slow down in a few years. How could Arizona gain so many people and pass some of the states that have been among the Top 10 in the USA during most of the nation's history, such as Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Michigan? The states that Arizona is projected to pass in population have been among the greatest contributor's to the nation's history and economy.

California is a net loser of population domestically. The overall population gain is from international immigration and reproduction (a large portion of which is a direct result of the international immigration, legal and otherwise.)

Yes, there's lots of people moving in and out of California domestically. But the overall flow is out. Americans are leaving California for other states and being replaced by people from outside the US.

In addition to where these additional 12 million people are going to live, I can't help but wonder:

1) What the price of real estate will be then, and how many people can afford the median-priced home.
2) If wages will keep up so that these 12 million new Californians can actually afford to live here.
3) If a major earthquake hits, and if so, will that keep these 12 million people from moving here (and make any current residents want to flee the state)?

I'm going to be a 70-year-old senior citizen by that time, and I personally wonder if Social Security will still be around then--or if I still need to work in order to pay my bills.
