www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/23/wla123.xml'Los Angeles is becoming a "Third World city" with Mexican immigrants making up half its workforce, says a new study. A third of immigrants have not graduated from high school and 60 per cent do not speak English fluently, the Migration Policy Institute found. It said this left immigrants ill-equipped to fill California's fastest-growing occupations, such as computer software engineering and nursing. The organisation added that as the so-called baby boomers reach retirement age, a similar pattern will spread across the US.'

This was already happening when we lived in Los Angeles in 1979-1985. It is such a beautiful city too, as green as back East. The smog is because it is a basin, and it collects. In New York, they are chasing all the immigrants out of Manhattan, and they are moving to Queens, Staten Island, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Hudson County.

I think LA and California are not even going to exist after 2016 due to extreme tectonic activities. Then again....there might be some horrible earthquake activity radiating out from illinois area and such with the new madrid faultline becoming active again....but i sincerely believe Cali is headed for an unimaginable disaster.....and man will have nothing to do with it.
Some of those in the know have already moved out and others have made their plans to flee already.
