RIF: California 2025: Taking on the Future
Filed Under California, Reading is Fundamental | Leave a Comment
The future is now.
In mid-2006, the Public Policy Institute of California published a report called “California 2025: Taking on the Future.” The 300+ page report is filled with information every Californian needs to know.

There is growing concern that rapid population growth and repeated budget shortfalls have brought California to a state of disrepair that could soon become a state of emergency. With support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, PPIC undertook a study to see whether the state is facing a growth and infrastructure crisis, how big the problems are, and how to think about planning for the future. This report presents the findings of that study. It concludes that we haven’t reached a crisis—yet—but some trends and forces make it imperative to begin systematic, well-informed planning. Otherwise, the future California gets by default may not be the future residents want for themselves and their children.
I encourage you to download the full report or research brief and read it.
I read most of the report, but I lost my hard copy on a flight from Boston to San Francisco.
