population is the problem
 that's exactly right...   it's why I left Cali .. doh!
of course, now they're moving here.  Except Lazs. 
See I like you Lazs... you knows you like it where it's warm all the time and you don't really want to deal with snow .
I mean.. you can visit but.. you know.. head back before winter 

Really though, I agree totally about population being the problem.
None of this stuff would be an issue (global warming, fuel shortages, food shortages, etc) if there weren't so many people... especially non-productive people.
I wonder what the ratio is?  productive people - leeches
