You can build a bank anywhere, but good luck getting sugar, cotton, corn, beans, wheat, etc. to grow in the rest of the country. [/quote]
Every one of those except cotton are grown in large quantities are grown in large quantities in Michigan.[/quote]
All of them including cotton are grown in California. The only problem is… it’s California. Michigan has a similar problem. [/quote]
What problem is that? It is a great state to live in.

You evidently don’t live in Detroit. [/quote]
No about forty miles out, but I know a lot of people that do and love the city.

Okay, well, different strokes for different folks, I guess. I’ve never been paticularly fond of Los Angeles, but I hear there are those who like living there, too. [/quote]
Not a fan of L.A. either, but I have never really been in any city in which I would care to live. I guess my favorites if I had to live in a city would be Ann arbor, Seattle, San Diego, San Fran or traverse city.
I know it is an easy and popular thing to rip on Detroit but I doubt the people that do have ever spent any appreciable time there.[/quote]
Just imagine if California did not have the Colorado River, and siphoning off all of it. Would they still be able to grow everything?
Just imagine if California decided to be apart of Mexico or Independent. The easiest way to bring them to their knees is by taking land around the Colorado River, so they do not have access to it.

When you say “California” I think you mean “Southern California”, and more specifically, “Los Angeles”.
Northern and Central California don’t use a drop of water from the Colorado River Aqueduct, and that’s where most of the agriculture is.

I stand corrected. I was in Monterrey and it was hotter than hades there so thought it was southern California. There was a ton of agriculture there. I am wrong I just looked at the map. My bad. Sorry.
Where does Northern California get most of its water?
