"If we do not solve this problem, we are not going to want to live in Southern California. "

In case you are wondering why Californians have been fleeing this state.

SoCal today. Your state tomorrow.

stringent state environmental regulations hampering manufacturing and construction.

The reason home prices are skyrocketing is because zoning restrictions (lot sizes and so on) have made building new homes prohibitively expensive.

“Also in 1970, 70.4 percent of adults in the region had at least a high school diploma, more than 8 percentage points better than the national average. By 2012, 42.3 percent of adults had attained that same level of education, trailing the national average of 41.7 percent.”

Horrible numbers but 42 doesn’t trail 41.

Unfortunately this isn’t going to change soon as we here in California are surrounded by Democrats. Democrats only know how to screw things up, NOT fix anything.

Until that day arrives when people wake up......

Dreaming again.

If there is a way to screen out the effect of drugs on the poverty level I believe these social scientist will be dumbstruck.

It's has nothing to do with diplomas or manufacturing.

Poverty grows because it is subsidized.

LBJ and his “Great Society” re-enslaved minorities with programs that stoked dependence on government and destroyed families.

The Dems have done everything possible to continue to feed a sense of victimization and dependence.

“If we do not solve this problem, we are not going to want to live in Southern California. The communities are going to become unhinged.”

Do you mean letting third world mentalities take over the area was not a good idea?

Whodda thunk?

Restrict the EBT, payments and other benefits after 6 months and you will see the numbers change and also many illegals IMO leave.

"elected officials from across Southern California pledged to reignite Lyndon Johnson’s war on poverty"

This sentence should sent up rockets, mortars, fireworks, and alarm bells ringing...the Dem's next hopey changey step has just been revealed

how are the Reps going to handle what surely will be a press for even more moneyprinting?

I grew up in the small Southern California town of El Toro, Since renamed Lake Forest. It was a very nice place to grow up. Crime was very low, and the town next door actually had the lowest crime rate in America for a while.

A few years ago I was in SoCal and wanted my wife to see the house I grew up in.

I was I never did that, because my neighborhood has been transformed into a grotesque parody of civilization; a cross between Tijuana and, well, the wealthier part of Tijuana. Windblown litter and filth cover my old street, and yet no one there has the thought to clean it up; There are 30 illegal aliens living in the house where my family of 5 grew up; beater cars parked everywhere including what used to be my front yard.

Just thinking about it brings about a profound sorrow that I cannot quite articulate.

The only thing I need to know about poverty in Southern California is that it’s actively encouraged and thus not worthy of my concern.
