Answer 5

California is traditional premium destination for runaway and some alternative life style due to warm weather and liberal attitude.There is a history, even in gold rush period, in east coast, regular worker was paid by $1 per day, San Francisco paid $3 to attract a lot of people to wild west. And there was a lot of stories about west means adventure,  fortune,  gold opportunity, go San Francisco area to be an executive of high tech,  go Los Angeles to be a film star,  go Las Vegas to win a lottery.  California has been recorded over 80 years of fast growing, and it brings Phoenix and Las Vegas( used to be very small desert towns) to be fastest growing cities.
