Google map the San Francisco bay area. Then move to the east. There is a mountain range between the bay area and the central valley. There are only a couple of road over the mountain range and for the most part is is wide open empty land.

They could build a landfill up in those hills that would take all the trash for the bay area for years and never fill up. Like most things the left believe in, it is a lie. We do not need to recycle, we have run for all our trash.

The only problems California has is management.

For years Democrats (starting with Jerry Brown) wanted us out of our cars so they purposely stopped building new freeways.

Gas taxes that should go for maintenace of roads and bridges has been redirected to other things.

For years California Schools were some of the best in the nation, then Democrats got it in their heads it was unfair for some school district to be better than others. They mandated all money for schools go to Sacramento first, then divided up to the local district. This effectively took the local tax payers (and parents) out of any say on how the schools should be ran. The unions took over and look what we have.

Calfornia once had the ninth strongest economy in the world. The brain trust in Sacramento Democrats and Unions took over and decided the primary role of government was social engineering. High taxes, excessive regulations have run many producers out of the state. They wonder why they now have less money to play with.

The biggest business in California was once farming. The brain trust is currently killing that business by shutting off water to the farmers so that some nameless fish can survive. You can only hope that Mexico steps up food production because if they keep it up California will be out of the food business.

The unions and media continue to support the Democrats. I can the only bright spot is when the parasites kill the host they will die also.

A lot of the land along the ridge east of Berkeley and Oakland is park land. Further east, in the western part of Contra Costa County, there are suburbs and more parks. The eastern part of Contra Contra might have some empty spaces suitable for landfills.

The amount of space in the Central Valley available for land fill has increased because less of it is being irrigated, in order to save the delta smelt.
