Planning For California's Population Explosion
8 July 2002 - 12:00pm
California and other western states are growing faster in population than several third-world countries. How can planning keep up?
"Experts say by 2040 California will add another 24 million people, more than half of them born here. That's equal to building a new San Diego every other year, or reproducing most of the nine-county Bay Area every decade. Unlike past decades when millions of migrants and immigrants drove most of California's growth, babies, babies and more babies are driving a larger share of today's and tomorrow's growth."
