California Today
California is not a finished work. The nightmares faced by the region in the
1990s - race riots, the Northridge earthquake - already belong to a different
age. Today's issues revolve around growth. In a state that has an economy
bigger than Canada's and is the headquarters for cutting-edge industries,
from space probes to Silicon Valley, how to manage a burgeoning human
population - with accompanying traffic gridlock, housing shortages and a
sky-high cost of living - is challenging.
