California has forbidden property tax increases on properties that haven't changed hands for 50 years. (Proposition 8.). Also, many of the blue areas there probably had large forest fires, which means fewer residential properties to tax and some loss in value in what still stands.

Yes, but I missed the legend the first time. They place it well above the pretty picture. It's an interactive chart, it turns out -- individual data points can be identified by clicking on a point. Edit: I checked again. The original chart has a grid. The x-axis is the year the film was released. (They also color-code the points by decade.). The y-axis is how much money it made. Neither set of indexes is visible on this Reddit page, and neither are the grid lines.

Arby's was around in the 1970s and 1980s, though I admit things were different then. Chains like Penn Station didn't exist when Arby's was getting established, or else weren't chains yet, and in my area, Arby's has a numerical advantage (more franchised sites). I don't think of Penn Station as fast food (or else think of it as sub shop) and don't think I have seen McAlister's in my metro area.

Lake Mead is in Nevada, on the Colorado River. California simply imports water from there. It won't be getting as much aid from the atmospheric river because the Colorado River is on the far side of the Sierra mountains. California has a lot of its own reservoirs -- apparently, there are even rubber dams making reservoirs now; the smaller ones have really benefited
