to live in densely populated states like California and New York.
I thought it was strange that he described the two states as densely populated. I looked up Laguna Hills to find that the 6.7 square mile town has 31,000 residents for a population density of 4,771 people per square mile. California’s density is 253 people per square mile.
That said, it is a republican town with a 7000 to 5000 rep to dem ratio although the 2016 election was only 6,844 to 6,647 in the presidential vote versus a much higher rep percentage in 2012.
I got a chuckle out of this info on wikipedia about its high school.
The city has its own high school, Laguna Hills High School, the smallest school in the district built in 1978 and one of the smallest in south Orange County with fewer than 1,700 students.
No one in the state of Maine would think that is a small high school.
California is mostly empty—as anyone knows who has flown over the state.
Remember—an empty desert is _not_ a permanent feature.
Metro Phoenix and Metro LA were empty desert two hundred years ago...
