  • Actually, it will take about 19,000,000 years. It is about 643 km from LA to San Francisco and the fault is moving at a rate of about 3.4 cm per year.

Of course, predicting human populations 19,000,000 years into the future could be a bit presumptuous. After that amount of time there is no telling what we may have evolved into or become depending on your religious beliefs.
