A California city filed for bankruptcy Wednesday, the third in the Golden State to do so in recent weeks, stoking experts’ concerns that other cities could follow suit.
The city of San Bernardino, with more than 200,000 residents on the eastern tip of greater Los Angeles, “filed an emergency petition for Chapter 9 Bankruptcy” with a regional U.S. bankruptcy court, according to a news release from the city’s interim manager.
The other two to file recently were Stockton, with around 300,000 residents, according to 2010 U.S. census data, and Mammoth Lakes, a resort town, where visitors and seasonal residents outnumber the just over 8,000 permanent inhabitants.
