More on California's Meltdown

Jennifer Rubin writes a wistful, sad, but well-researched elegy for California. The weather is still wonderful, the scenery still spectacular, but the human-generated mess that is state and local government is the pits. Her article appears in Commentary.

I believe the following is my favorite quote from the piece:

Employers and educated people can uproot themselves, and they have been, fleeing the congestion, the traffic, the crumbling infrastructure, and the deficient schools. Between 1990 and 2000, 2 million more left the state than arrived from other states.

I wonder what the exodus will look like when FedGov gets the 2010 census numbers crunched?
