It's been a long time since I visited much in California (like four decades), but I only need to look around here to see exactly what you are talking about.
I think a lot of that is down to confusion. We just haven't had the information we needed.
Still, the good stuff is now out there, and growing fast. We are in a time of change...radical change.
I love Jane Goodall's "Four Reasons for Hope." I think she's right.
I don't know if you follow the idea of Energy Healing, but it seems as if all we have to do is 'intend' for people to find the information they need to be wonderfully well...and they will.
That sounds a little airy-fairy, but it seems to work.
