Review‐The Decline and Fall of California: From Decadence to Destruction
Historian Victor Davis Hanson chronicles the sad decline of the once great state of California in his book, The Decline and Fall of California: From Decadence to Destruction. Clearly modeled on famous British historian Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Hanson's book makes it clear that the increasingly dystopian California has been the author of its own decline. A half-century of bad policy and failed ideology has reduced the Golden State to a shell of its former glory.Much more at link. It's Breitbart, you know. Haven't read the book but the review jibes with a lot of what I've seen. I can tell you that there are still a lot of days in that narrow coastal enclave that are quite enjoyable even if you have to share the road with liberal bicyclists in their spandex. I've been to flyover country and I know the people there are more reasonable. But the weather and the ocean here make it very difficult for me to contemplate leaving.
