California is a huge state! With almost 40 million people, it's currently larger than the other 10 western states combined. This is due to a wide range of reasons that date all the way back to when California was a remote colony of the Spanish Empire. But while California has seen incredible growth over the last 150 years, today the other 10 states are starting to catch up.

As a New Mexican, here is my advice for people looking to keep people out of their state, we've been successful in creating a shield against from any Californian or... anyone in general looking to resettle in this state, it's called lack of opportunities and a poor economy.

As a Geography student in the 1970's we were taught that during WWII virtually everyone
that fought in the Pacific came through California and that many who left the service
at the end of the war simply stayed. We were taught that the pleasant weather
was new to many exiting GI's. Also, the weather allowed year round testing of aircraft
so a lot of aircraft manufacturing gravitated there. Naturally, your assessment is
about fifty years newer, and with better data.

Up until COVID California’s Central Valley was still completely affordable. I was working a warehouse job in the Fresno area. I was single and was able to afford an apartment and a fairly okay standard of living. COVID and the response by the country as a whole ruined all that. My rent went from $680 for a two bedroom to $1,100. It’s not longer affordable and I am seriously considering moving. It’s sad because our culture is undefeated. Moving away just to survive is gonna be the most life altering decision I’ve ever had to make.😢

Another thing you gotta know is California's Geography is buffed by the central valley which grows a TON of food.

“Living in Paradise is quite expensive.”

The invention of air conditioning allowed Arizona to thrive. Same can be said for Florida. Pretty much nobody lived in Florida prior to 1950.

California is a beauty. I have lived in other states and this state has the most spectacular landscape, geography and climate.

Apparently, Nevada has three pockets of population: Las Vegas, Reno-Sparks-Carson City and Elko.

I’ve lived in pretty much every western state but it’s hard to beat California living
Good weather good wages good scenery good vibes

In addition to factors you've mentioned, we got many people forced out of Kansas and surrounds due to the Dustbowl. WWII also a factor as many military folks came to San Francisco prior to shipping out to the Pacific War. We also built many warships and munitions for WWII (WWI also actually). This industry brought many people to the state as well. Our state was not ridiculously expensive until the 1980s so people could come here and buy a decent home. (Good luck doing that today.) in the 1960s we got great free or cheap university education made available, which led to a high level of education in the workforce. Anyway, I'm sure there are many more major factors, and if you'd tried to cover them, your video would have been excessively long! But, thanks for an interesting video.

California is unique, I love California.

I moved to Washington at 12 with my family. Dad was in the Navy. The family went to Florida with the Navy. I tried Washington as an adult but the cost of living had became out of control. I like visiting California but the cost of living there would mean a big drop in my disposable income if I moved there today. That Mediterranean climate is awesome. Even Oregon, Washington and British Columbia have the Med climate although cooler and a bit wetter. The west coast of every continent has the best weather. Compare Alaska and Norway with eastern Asia. The Mediterranean area with the humid southeast US. Argentina and Chile. West is best if you live on a coast.

You could say the Spanish were on a mission to settle the area.

I always wondered what live is like in Arizona, I'm from the Netherlands and the weather here is very cool, cloudy and humid so very polar opposite weather wise from were i'm from but i think the state and nature is very beautifull!

Astoria, Oregon is the oldest American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains. In 1811, New York financier, John Jacob Astor, sent fur traders to the area establishing the trading post of Fort Astoria.
