Sometimes I wonder how quickly things could collapse in California if a place like Las Vegas gained enough critical mass in non gaming/convention businesses.

I would take the oppressive heat over the oppressive fog and piss smell of SF if it had the same job opportunities. I know the reason me and the majority of my friends pack into this peninsula like sardines to pay massive taxes, rents, and general COL expenses is purely because of the industry.

Definitely a chicken and egg problem but maybe if the state continues with anti-business and high tax policies, they may accidentally go over board and cause an exodus.
