So as you all know (or maybe not), the city of Monterey was the territorial capital of California until 1845, until the constitutional convention (also held in Monterey) decided to move it elsewhere.

So for those who know California history (and hopefully the nature of the Central Coast), what happens if we decided to keep it here in Monterey?

It's good to keep in mind that the Central Coast is, all things considering, rather rugged, low on water and as a consequence, pretty under populated. It's rather small town, nature-y and tourism-based. Could the area ever host the capital of a large state, with all the requirements that come with it?
