  > Success is due to nice weather. If by that you mean a combination of soil and climate suitable for some of the most productive agriculture in North America, that's true. Otherwise it's more a series of other industries, starting with extractive (1849 wasn't known for a “nice weather rush”) but more recently mostly creative & technological. > Now that that's gone, well... It wasn't gone during the long drought, and it's not now.

    You're actually underestimating the agricultural output of California, it's the most agriculturally productive place (mainly Central Valley I believe) in the history of civilization.
