Instead of cherry picking a city, how about give a better sample of So Cal in general. This is equivalent to 5 KC or OKC within 50 miles. And I couldn't get the stats for East LA, Monterey Park, Montebello, Hollywood. KC and OKC repeat over and over in So Cal.

If you'd take the time to read the thread...you'd realize I was only comparing California's *largest* city to other states *largest* cities. And I stated so multiple times.
