Hemet is a relatively new city in California that grew up fast as a retiremnet community. No economic base whatsoever and too remote to commute to a job. At one time it was very well off, mostly old folks. Then as the old folks died off there was a housing surplus. The County found out and filled up this housing with section8 welfare recipients.

Now it is a hellhole

It’s not really new. 40 years ago my parents owned a pie shop there. You are right, the demographics have drastically changed over the years.

I wonder if this has to do with the missing/murdered gang banger kids. (http://www.nctimes.com/news/local/swcounty/article_81bfda9f-684c-5ff4-a420-263963e32877.html)

A city founded in 1887 and incorporated in 1910 is 'relatively new'?
