[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The correct answer to this is that post ww2 there was massive defense spending in certain sunbelt states (CA and AZ specifically) also TX. The massive infusion of government spending led to defense contractors growth and spinoffs into aerospace startups. I’m an urban planner so I have read a lot about why certain places do/did better than others. [/quote] What about ports? [/quote] Those are more historical but certainly a factor in the economic development of FL and CA. My analysis is more about why certain areas of the sunbelt got very rich in the 20th century and grew these incredible research institutions and startups stemming from aerospace and defense but ultimately leading to the modern tech industry vs why others languished and the answer to that is post ww2 government investment.
