What areas of So. Cal. do you think will be survivable?

Southern California south of Tejon Pass and east of the Sierras to the Mexican border and Arizona / Nevada is a desert with the population maintained for the greatest part by imported water accompanied by locally dropping water tables. Agriculture has mostly been paved over or otherwise rendered largely impractical or impossible. Everything is delivered, built or maintained with the use of the internal combustion engine and the electrical grid powers 99% of everything else.

Only about half of US the population pays taxes, I believe almost half of the population receives some sort of government services or assistance and the truly rich can afford to move their wealth, income, and business out of the country.

California has 1/3 of the national welfare burden, of which 1/4 of the California burden is in Los Angeles county. Not much separates the wealthy from the poor except for a short hike up the hill, and welfare communities sit right next to middle class suburbs throughout the state.

Most game animals were displaced or diminished decades ago when the population was a small fraction of today, socal surface water is minimal and to significant degree, polluted.

Connect the dots. It wouldn't make much more sense to hide on the Magic Mountain premises than it would in LA city hall if money becomes either scarce or worthless.

Democrat politicians buy up votes importing people and dispensing social services while Republicans have traditionally garnered support from business interests with cheap imported labor of all sorts (including H1-B) and otherwise catering to business while attracting other votes with all talk and no do concerning illegal migration. It's hard to take away services when a significant portion of the population has become used to it, at that's even when the politicians are halfway sane - which, in California, they're largely a motley collection of lunatics living in a far left, rapid transit train to nowhere parallel dimension. So, nothing meaningful will be done to fix the deficits until money can't be dispensed anymore and by then it will be too late.

The Donner party, without snow to melt for drinking water, comes to mind.


I really hope I'm wrong.
