It's scary to think that CA could hold almost 15% of the votes in the EC in another 30 years... I would really love to see the state broken up, for the benefit of the residents (I grew up in rural <a href="http://www.srch-results.com/lm/rtl.asp?k=nor%20cal" onmouseover="window.status='Nor Cal'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">Nor Cal</a>). Everything is run by SF and LA; there aren't enough votes in the rest of the state to overrule or even balance out their votes. [ /whining ]
Thank you! This is my argument for only letting landowners vote in one branch of state legislatures.
I doubt that Cali. will gain more than a couple of more EV's. People are going to keep moving to these ultra-sprawled out super-cities.
It is in 30 years, so it's not impossible. Many people will continue moving west, and California remains the most attractive option for a lot of people.
Once again, your map does not take into account possible social changes, technological advances, etc.
These factors are going to make small cities more atractive and the most economicvally innovative states will win out.
Those states are Minnesota, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington and Georgia.
