Nothing can save L.A.!

Except maybe the San Andreas Fault.

minor quibble: Atlanta is not “declining.” The intown area has been pretty thoroughly gentrified, after housing projects were torn down, and residents moved out to the southern suburbs. And the northern suburbs are growing like crazy with transplants fleeing the northeast and upper midwest.

Read the entire article, the author didn't touch immigration, legal or illegal, at all - save tangentially by indicating that families with children are exiting LA City and also that city employees mostly live elsewhere.

So, no mention of the major reason why people and industry are abandoning So Cal. It's b/c of the poverty & illiteracy brought to the region by illegal and legal Hispanic immigrants, along with the associated gang activity, the increased dependency on taxpayer funded programs, etc.

Will there be a “Bring Your Own Water” requirement?
