Since the dawn of the new millennium, California has increasingly been cast in two wildly different films.
In one, it is a smoldering dystopia. Broke. Burning. Unaffordable. Fleeing residents in rented U-Hauls headed for Texas.
In the other, it is a sun-drenched dreamscape. The birthplace of the internet. The laboratory of climate action. A place so dynamic it could stand alone as a nation state.
Both movies contain truth. Neither is the whole story.
