"We are a happy, prosperous people whose latch string is always out. The only quarrel we have among ourselves is whether Los Angeles has a finer climate in winter or in summer. Come out and help us settle the question. There's room for a million more on the tops of our hills, another on their slopes, and a third on the plain below. We already have in reserve the economic resources for that growth." - p[14].
