It's just as easy to imagine this being most of San Jose because of drought.

Or this being every corporate HQ because of the collapse of Western Capitalism in the face of global warming.

I'm sure life will go on though.

The non-agricultural, non-forestry parts of the California economy can do just fine on desalinated seawater.

Most likely global capitalism will thrive in the face of global warming. Creative destruction. All the infrastructure to be rebuilt, the huge projects, warlike government expenditures, replacing the worlds fleet of vehicles, expanding the grid multiple times. It will be absolutely Faustian… People were taking too much time between new cars

This is fair. I wonder if that will require a new generation of corporation, though. And the current generation of corporate HQs don't look nearly defensible enough. Something more like the Tyrell Corporation Ziggurat will be needed.
