I can't write a blog today. I am heartsick.
I read a long article by Joel Kotkin, the most brilliant social analyst of our time, a man who's basic study is urban/suburban development. He appreciates suburbs, business and real Americans.
Kotkin accurately describes the desperate decline that has savaged California. It is largely the consequence of the end of non-partisan politics in 1959, the rise of government unions, the new religious-environmentalism and the associated anti-business demagoguery.
It is very disheartening. Read it, forget me today.
