Dubious Distinction Dept: California destinations make up the entire top 10 list with that dubious distinction. If it were constitutionally allowed, California would likely be bankrupt, according to Calgary Herald. Here are the buzz words: liberal economics, draconian environmental policies, over-taxing corporations, no affordable housing, schools that score among the worst in the country and conde Nast Magazine rates favourite cities to travel to, and year after year, San Francisco holds steady at the top of that list. It's where I spent this year's spring break, and when I say spent, that's exactly what I mean. Our trip took us through several California towns and cities, from Carmel -also always on the "good" list, to Salinas, ranked as the most expensive place in the U.S. to live. How did a state with the eighth largest GDP in the world, and an absolutely spectacular, resource-rich land mass larger than most countries, take such a mighty fall to wear the worst economy in the U. S.? It's a test tube of economic analysis that think-tanks are tripping over themselves to explain. As
reported in the news.
