When California was great.

Before it become a slum.

I could watch these travel film archive films all day,

This film was made in 1955. Alaska hadn't become a state yet.

- Oil production is a shadow of what it once was. Known reserves are too expensive to extract.

- Aircraft manufacturing has almost disappeared as of 2010. The Boeing C-17 is the only major airplane still being built in California.

- Hollywood productions are taking a beating and shrinking from competition elsewhere.

- Recent years-long drought has hit agriculture hard, and

- Overcrowding has made real estate expensive.

[Cuidichn]

It's obvious why.

Oil production curtailed, Industry limited and curtailed, resulting in State and individual income reduced, welfare up..........
