Good article, he references some of his other works too. California will be like Detroit within a decade.

Parts of it are already beginning to resemble Detroit. The site of a drive-in restaurant owned by Richard Nixon's brother has been a vacant lot for almost four years. Across the street from me is an abandoned auto dealership whose owner was so wealthy a few years ago that he purchased a street right-of-way from the city to expand his business. Down the road is a shuttered factory that manufactured medical equipment whose parking lot is going back to nature.

Any idea what happened to these businesses? Did they simply close down or did they move? If they moved, to where?
