Ready or not, 2020 is here. What will happen in California?
Julia Wick is on a New Year’s break, so today’s edition is once again brought to you by L.A. Times Deputy Managing Editor Shelby Grad.“The sea will rise, the ground will shake, the fires will rage, the state will sue the Trump administration every Tuesday and sometimes on Thursday, some people will flee, others will arrive, the cost of housing will rise, the number of homeless people will grow, and the bullet train will not leave the station. Wait a minute, that was last year’s prediction.
That’s Times columnist Steve Lopez, reminding us that a new decade doesn’t necessarily mean much change. California is still facing a lot of problems, but also working hard to solve at least some of them.Lopez began 2020 on, despite the flood of stories labeling the state as unlivable and failing. “The NYT explained to us rubes that ‘at the heart of our state’s rot’ is ‘a failure to live sustainably.’ We are not without sin, but as I pass another electric car, look beyond a cluster of windmills and into the glare of solar farm reflections, huh?”Here are more predictions on various issues affecting Californians.
