(The most politically relevant basic difference between California and Texas: the price of land. Texas has cheap housing relative to its income, but California is expensive. That has profound effects on the political cultures of the two states that we are only beginning to understand. For example, Texas tends to attract young white families while California sheds them.

Although it looks empty, much of the land is locked up from development by lack of water, federal ownership, Indian reservations, nuclear bomb testing, nuclear waste storage, UFO storage, and so forth. Land prices surged in Nevada during the Housing Bubble, and then collapsed with the worst default rates in the country.)

My father-in-law actually used to work at the nuclear test site. They seemed to do a lot of hard work to make sure everything was good and ready for a nuclear test, but it seems like things got to a point where they didn't do many, if any, any more. I'm sure there are things that if he told me, he'd have to kill me, so I don't ask. I'm just glad that Sasquatch came down to Earth on his UFO and brought us nuclear technology when he did. I'm happy to leave it at that and let the Nevadans worry about the details.
