California is Still A Land of Opportunity
November 3, 2009
A recent Time Magazine cover story featured California. Commenting that the state of California is the 8th largest economy in the world, the writers clearly believed that the future of our state will be bright. Throughout 2009 there has been much bad news; budget deficits, huge numbers of foreclosures and banks going under. However, California is the state that encourages innovation and innovation ultimately creates jobs and wealth.
A look at our own Riverside/San Bernardino County area reflects this innovative and entreprenural spirit. Medical advances such as heart transplants and proton beam therapy have their centers in our region. We have a concentration of higher education institution that encourage research in fields such as biology, botany, geology, ecology, and geography. The world's largest developer and producer of GIS technology is located in Redlands. The San Bernardino County Museum has one of the world's largest collection of bird eggs that are becoming of prime importance to researchers in the field of environmental changes. We had an experimental site for solar energy. We have fields of wind machines.
Like much of California, we have recreational facilities that offer boating and camping and hiking and skiing. We have beautiful mountains and deserts.
Finally, unlike some of the pricier coastal regions, we have affordable housing. According to the latest data, 67% of our wage earners can afford our median priced homes. We are coming out of a national, perhaps international, economic downturn. Now is the time to enjoy our clear, crisp weather and the opportunity to prepare for a bright future.
