California

Paper Summary:

This paper presents the statistical facts of the Californian population. The paper describes the huge influx of people to California every year. In order to keep up with the increasing population, the paper explains how city officials and urban designers have begun working on master-plan communities to ease the housing shortage.

From the Paper:

"But the noticeable changes have been in the locations and the way California's people live. Some go back to the old suburban style, while the rest of the trend shows California as continuing to grow into an urban society (Fulton). The Bay area's nine counties account for less than half (3.3%) of the entire state's average growth at 6.7% and places like Contra Costa and Sonoma counties have chosen the suburban style of growth. In the meantime, the Department estimated that the majority need more housing units in the state and that, since the year 2000, 74% of those built were single-family homes. These units were built in large numbers in Riverside County and the Inland Empire in the 90s until they were replaced by multi-family condominiums and apartment buildings (Fulton)."
