Perhaps you were looking at California prison inmate numbers?

Is that your photobucket account?
If so, kudos on having some great pix.
I was thinking there ought to be a law preventing liberal asswhipes from leaving places they ruined with their bad ideas.
this is ok with most residents, because they came from India, China, or somewhere else in Asia that is even more crowded. They actually don’t think it is crowded there.Back in the 60's I lived in a tract in California a couple of miles from Disneyland (we could see and hear the fireworks every night)
A Family from New Jersey moved in next door, we asked them how they liked it in Anaheim...They said they loved it, they loved living out in the country.
The climate is ideal, but everything else about the area is crap now. Working at a silicon valley IT startup is sweatshop work. They hire mostly foreigners who are cheap and work them to death. You have to spend a million on a house that you will never be in because you work 14 hour days. Kids have no space to run around and be kids. They don’t have yards, and you can’t let a kid destroy a million dollar house.
For the last couple of years, I have been studying this stuff called "Natural Law". It is the philosophical premise that this government was founded upon.
Since I have become aware of it, I began to notice how often a law is in conflict with natural rights, and how no one seems to notice that certain types of laws are fundamentally wrong.
Excessive taxation, for example, is a lesser form of slavery. The closer the tax rate gets to 100%, the more analogous to slavery it becomes.
I postulate that taxation beyond a certain rate is in conflict with natural law. Nobody has a right to take other people's money or property just because they have the power to do so.
Not even a majority.
Uh... I’m guessing that there aren’t too many in this crowd who like to get outside and toss around a baseball or football?

Only place I lived on the peninsula was in South San Francisco, but the picture accompanying the article is pretty accurate all the way down the SF Peninsula from Foster City into San Jose. Very different from the city.
They're basically the USA version of Soviet-era communist Khrushchyovka apartment blocks. Call them Amerikhrushchyovka if you like.
They're all filled with three or four Indian .NET/AngularJS/Hadoop developers living together in a two-room condo.
Foreign born. Yeah, I believe it.
More Uniparty war against American citizens and their jobs.
On the I-10/I-60 freeways during that time, there was a non-stop convoy of out of state deadbeats and lowlifes traveling into California claiming to be looking for work but just as likely escaping a criminal record wherever they came from. Plus, the Mexican illegal immigrants flooded in at the same time.
In elementary and middle school, the California native kids would notice all these sketchy kids suddenly joining our class at all random times of the year. They came from incoming families from all over the country, you'd quickly find out. That's right around the time that California started adding these weird air conditioned trailers on campus property to handle the overflow of incoming students once the class sizes got so large that the schoolrooms built in the 1950s and 1960s couldn't handle the amount of desks.
First thing you'd notice entering any classroom would be ten or twelve newer style school desks mixed in with the older ones, so much there'd barely be enough room to walk through the aisle. The desks were edged right up against the walls. Also, all the kids would look suspiciously at the weird windowless prefab trailers on campus over near the playground or athletic field. "Who's in there?" you'd wonder. "Oh, that's the 'English-as-a-Second-Language' classes". They even had different recess schedules from the rest of us. They were like inmates and treated as such.
Fast forward a few years later and you'd see those same kids from the ESL trailers in middle school wearing hair nets, white t-shirts, flannel pendletons only buttoned up at the neck, chinos cut off at the knee, and corduroy house slippers. They'd hang around outside school starting trouble and eventually being expelled to the lowlife continuation school across town where they immediately dropped out.
After 20-some years of being away from Southern California, I visited a few years back for a wedding and didn't even recognize the place. My old high school went from being a CIF academic champion and National Merit Scholar factory into a place that looked like you'd be taking your life in your hands walking across campus.
Southern California went from being very much like 'The Brady Bunch' to 'Breaking Bad' in less than 20 years by my reckoning.
I must point out that even slaves have time off, their "tax rate" is never actually 100%.
The thing that makes it slavery is that the master has the first claim on the slave's labors, and the master is the one who determines when to stop and let the slave take care of personal business. Of course the master doesn't take it *all*; the slaves might just give up and quit working altogether.
That should remind you of something coming up in about a month (at this writing).
Care to give a hint?
Q: hint?
A: April 15
Eh? No wonder I missed it. I NEVER have my taxes done by then. I always file extensions.
