basically this. Consider it shares a border with a third world country and the existence of an ever widening wealth gap more people will naturally equate to more poor people. Not exactly earth shattering. That and internal migration i'm sure plays a factor. If I as homeless and given the choice of being homeless in Iowa during december or being homeless in sunny fukin california then damn right I'm hopping a train to perpetual sunshine.Theres more people in california than those other states combined dumbass.

That is why they used a poverty RATE. The percentage of people living in poverty is highest in California.

Wonder what he thinks about all the whites who live trailer parks all throughout the state. This is a misleading study, @DEAD7 come school your boy on all the poor red neck towns around your way....
And on the very outskirts of every major metropolitan area

The ultimate welfare state. Aren't democratic policies wonderful? 
Democratic super majority 
It's been an absolute blessing for minorities out here
Progressive zoning laws and wage increases have shown us exactly where we shouldn't live in the state and forced us into the simpler more pleasant areas.
Power shortages
water shortages the list goes on

Compton is clean and middle class lookin' stop it. You wouldn't even known it was a hood like that just visiting. It used to be a middle class city so it's all nice housing stock/yards etc.
I just looked up Compton in Google street maps, everyone has pools in their backyard

I'm on the fence about immigration....but import upper 100,000s of thousands of people every single year, have a high tax rate, which forces companies to leave, which hurts the state financing even more for those unemployed masses.....brehs

Let me the first one to admit I don't understand this new alternative way of gauging the poverty rate. Maybe someone can break it down. I'm too high to bother with all of that right now.
