We all know that California is currently the most populous state but do you think it'll ever relinquish it's title and if so when do you think this will happen?
I think we're actually seeing the beginning of a wholesale exodus. California has the worst business climate in the country and it's actually getting worse. In the past twenty year, 4,000,000 middle class workers have left the state. With taxes about to get raised and the state not being serious about its skyrocketing spending, it's about to hit critical mass. I mean, I'm not trying to dis the state, but it's imploding before our very eyes. The population numbers are being masked by the massive influx of immigrants from central America and overseas, not from other states in the Union.
I remember reading an article once that said California was growing so fast back in the 60's/70's that the state was adding between 1,000-2,000 people per day!

It's a beautiful place. A shame that it's committing suicide before our very eyes.
Agreed
California is a beautiful state. I would've lived there 20 or 30 years ago, but not now. No way Jose.
