A friend of mine lived in Los Angeles for a few years. He said the one thing that really shocked him was the number of people he came across who had similar stories to this one -- people of all ages who had just packed everything they owned into their cars and drove out to Hollywood with the idea in their minds that they would pursue a career in entertainment.

He described the U.S. as a giant platform the was tilted slightly toward the west -- and all these people with various mental disorders ended up tumbling down to the west until the Pacific Ocean prevented them from going any further.

I will tell you this, living 10 blocks from the ocean...we have many homeless. But it makes some sense, we have no snow, no brutal cold. Actually, it is mostly like camping. I think is the main draw. Whenever I see a freezing east coast homeless, I think, man ours have it so much better.
