Meanwhile, the state’s renewable plans are being thwarted by rural Californians who don’t want wind and solar projects in their neighborhoods... In addition to the raging land-use conflicts, California policymakers are facing a growing backlash from California’s Latino population, which is the largest in the country. As I reported last year, the state’s Latino leaders have sued the state over its housing, energy, and climate regulations. Jennifer Hernandez, the lead lawyer for The Two Hundred, a coalition of Latino leaders, told me those regulations are “incredibly regressive” and are bringing “Appalachia economics” to California’s “non-coastal elites.”
Yes, that's what they are designed to do.
California's economy has reached the peak of the cycle, and is now heading down. At the bottom of the cycle, old money will buy up all the prime land then kick the socialists out, followed by incredible profits, starting the cycle over. Old money loves long term cycles, not economic stability.
