Good, then you will have no issues with Trump sending all illegals to CA sanctuary cities.

So funny how the same people who warn about Global Warming support unfettered population growth.

The problem with the story is the false "everybody".

No, there is not room for another ten million ILLEGALS.

This story was planted by the US Chamber of Commerce on behalf of employers who want to suppress wages for the poorest US citizens.

Do not trust the media.

Texas is full. There is no room for stupid Clownifornians who run away from their state after ruining it and are now trying to ruin our Great State.

While California has physical space to even double our population, that is not the same as carrying capacity of infrastructure and financial resources.

Moreover, there's a relationship between crowding and quality of life. Even if infrastructure and services are scaled to match the population increase, there are diminishing returns on quality of life beyond a certain density. The same is true if the density is too low, also, but California definitely doesn't have that problem.

Californians are the creeping, strangling slime mold of the nation! Slime on! Shitholing the country one state at a time!

It's called Californication

Every state has a (usually neighboring) state they look down on. In New York, it is New Jersey. Where I grew up in New Mexico, it was Texas. Wisconsinites loathe the Illinois people. Vermonters hate "Massholes". etc etc.

In California, I never hear of people looking down on any neighboring state. This must be like, "if you're not sure who the sucker is, it's probably you."

Here in silicon valley it seems that states are looked down on at a rate inversely proportional to "progressiveness." "Flyover" states are distained.

Not germane to the comment quoted above, but no other countries are "full" either — so the people in those countries can all stay put thank you.

In addition to quality of life concerns, I think another important issue is that of resilience. As California (and the entire country, for that matter) gets more and more full, people live closer and closer to the edge of catastrophe. For example, with our ever-stressed transportation system, a single fault in a single road can have massive effects on traffic. My 5 mile commute usually takes 20 to 25 minutes; one day there was an accident on a road I don't even take and that caused spillover to my commute and increased the time to 90 minutes — if I had known, I could have walked home. I've seen housing going up on hard-to-build steep hills because the easy places are already built. Who on earth would be stupid enough to build a housing community in a ditch between two hills or in a flood plain — Californians, that's who.

Last year's huge California fires caused massive burn damage to recently-built communities, not communities that had been around for 100 years. Part of the issue is that these communities were built where they were built because the low-fire-danger areas are all built up already.

but no other countries are "full" either — so the people in those countries can all stay put thank you.

Best comment yet. Absolutely irrefutable.

No thank you, I'm fine in Arizona.

I thought we looked down on every state......also, back in the day, was it just me or did most SF Bay people look down on people from LA?

Considering that Boston wins many of the championships in professional sports, Bostonians think that they're something special, a.k.a "City on the Hill". BTW, that notion was not my idea but that of John Winthrop, founder of Boston.

The best thing about Boston is that unlike its colonial rivals, Philly and NYC, Boston is still relatively clean and safe to hang around in (outside of the triple hood of Mattapan, Dorchester, and Roxbury) whereas in Philly, gangs even beat up pedestrians in Center City.

Also, it's a 5.5 hour drive to Montreal, the best hoeing town in North America.

Philly is a shithole. Center is City is far, far, far worse than any part of Manhattan and most of the Buroughs

No argument from me on that one.
