Libs are all down with the proles until they have to share space with them.

NJ realtors got in a trouble a few years ago for (successfully) steering black homebuyers to Altoona PA. Odd story...

I’d guess about zero, unless somebody could convince them that homeless in Cali is a better deal than homeless in Hawaii.
