Short Sale in California
California is a state located on the west coast of the United States. It is the most populous state in the U.S. If it were an independent nation, it would have between the sixth and ninth largest economy in the world (see economy of California). Probably the most physically and demographically diverse state in the nation, its official nickname is "The Golden State." This is often thought to be a reference to California's 1849 Gold Rush but is in fact reference to the native grasses that turn a golden color during the summer season. California's U.S. postal abbreviation is CA, and its Associated Press abbreviation is Calif.
California is a dominant force in American culture as well as the nation's economy. In addition to paying significantly more to the federal system than it receives in benefits, it has some of the nation's largest cities, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, and San Francisco. |
