Chapter 10: The Southern Coastlands: On the Subtropical Margin

San Francisco's climate is not considered to be subtropical, a lot of parts of southern California do have similar climates to the subtropical margin but that is not what this blog is about.

One item that California dominates is orange production. We make the most edible oranges, while Florida makes the most orange juice.


Sugarcane is another major production of Florida and Hawaii, but California has a part in it as well. The refinery at Crockett refines, packages, and markets all of the output from Hawaii's sugar factories.  The C&H stands for California and Hawaii.   


Florida has the most retired/elderly people living in its state. But California, specifically San Francisco will be seeing a rise as well.
As stated in California Department of Aging, The percentage increase of aged people in San Francisco will rise 50-149% from 1990-2020.
