Gin: Californias always had this sense it's the place where you go to, often from other parts of america, and like the future somehow, and make good. Is this california dream gone? Gin: Yes, i really think it is. Before two thousand only forty percent of adults had been born in the state. That's more like 60 % now. And i think that makes a difference somehow, to this notion of california as a kind of a migrant paradise.
