Joel Kotkin on "The Other California"

California leaders are always trying to tell us what our values are. Kevin De León's SB 54, the one that would help make California a "sanctuary state," is called the "California Values Act."

On one side is the much-celebrated, post-industrial, coastal California, beneficiary of both the Tech Boom 2.0 and a relentlessly inflating property market. The other California, located in the state’s interior, is still tied to basic industries like homebuilding, manufacturing, energy and agriculture. It is populated largely by working- and middle-class people who, overall, earn roughly half that of those on the coast.
