Why did the gold rush change California so significantly?

The gold rush changed CA because of the numbers of people coming into the territory. San Francisco and Sacramento grew in population and size. They were the main "jumping off" points into the gold region. With them came new cultures, foods, and in less than 2 years CA went from a territory to a state on Sept. 9, 1850. Men like Levi Strauss, a tailor, created a business by adding brass brads to the pants of miners. Today we call these pants "Levis". A great deal of money came into CA from the East to invest in companies and banks that were built to handle the business from the thousands of people that came into the state. As more money poured into the state people spread out moving into areas in the center of the state and began growing/shipping crops they grew. The railroads began to build tracks into these areas and new cities grew up at the rail stops. Today those some of the largest cities in central CA and they still produce most of the crops sent to international and national markets. We still see the effects today of the gold rush.

What are some economic issues in California?

Our politicians can't agree on a budget. We have needs in schools, health, children's health, immigration policy, and so much more. The farmers need water and there are some farm towns in Central Valley that have 50% unemployment because of the water problems. Our taxes have gone up to support the inaction of the CA Senate. Yet, they still get their pay and perks. Teachers have gotten pink slipped because the school budgets can't support the teaching staff or programs in funding. Next week there is an election to pass four new propositions to tax us more to pay for schools, police and firemen. Yet, within each are "poison" pills that will tax us more and pay for less. They are moving funds from one account to another. It doesn't solve our problems, just moves them. Does that give you an idea of what is going on here?
