I'm skeptical with their models, especially since we are still growing the population. Their numbers seem much too high.

The problem is that the Sacramento area is subect to very infrequent but really intense flooding, with the last episode being December 1860-January 1861. So recent memory and trends are a terrible predictor of what will happen.

Well it was hot as balls (115 highs) when I lived there in the 90s and we got smog days off from school when the air was too unbreathable to go outside. I don’t imagine things have changed for the better in the last 25 years.

The secret treasure in the underground city of Sacramento Will ensure that the population remains stable.

I was gonna ask if it was a big chest of meth, but I was thinking of Stockton not Sacramento. 😖
