What happens when you get too many people and poor governing policy

[Meadow Muffin]

It has the highest “poor” because the state is run by Democrats who have no problem spending it's citizens money to feed the illegal, lazy, drug ingesting, multiple baby producing mothers, who don't give a rat's ass about America as long as those free bee’s keep rolling in.

BECAUSE SOCIALISM WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE NOT THE SOCIALIST

[lowbridge]

Cliff Notes version:

Once upon a time, the people of California voted Democrats into office.

The End.

[PeteB570]

Got really good after the NIMBY bit.

[DoodleDawg]

I couldn’t get to the article. What do they base their claim on? Percentages? Whole numbers?

[yldstrk]

A population of lazy asses who can’t think straight and are high on weed is why.

“Dianka Espinosa is a graduate student at Rio Hondo, a local community college”

I have never heard of a ‘graduate’ student at a JC. Stopped reading at the point.

[Texas Eagle]

The author correctly points out that the stats are skewed because of the concentration of wealth in Hollywood and Silicon Valley but the real disparity is due to the excessive number of government employees with their lucrative salaries, benefits and pensions. You can go to TransparentCalifornia.com and see the obscene numbers for yourself.

[Leep]

The fall of America parallels the destruction And mockery of marriage...probably just a coincidence.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Because they have become a colony of Mexico.

[seowulf]

Don’t they always go on about wealth inequality?

Why don’t the just distribute more to the poor?

[C19fan]

What does one expect when middle class people flee to be replaced by illiterate 3rd worlders.

[Brilliant]

A large part of it is illegal immigration.

[CurlyDave]

Lots and lots of reasons.

RAT policies are big reasons, especially over regulation. BUT, the climate, especially in Southern CA is such that it is possible to be homeless and camp out year round. They can’t do that in Wyoming. This makes CA a magnet for homeless, and we are never going to be able to change that.

The real solution is to make living outdoors illegal in urban areas and then enforce that with the same zeal that they enforce zoning and building regulations on homeowners.

If they would force the homeless into non-urban areas, with limited opportunities for begging and petty crime, a lot of them would decide to get jobs and work. The real problem is that we have allowed the homeless to make cities cesspools.

Legal homeless camps on the outskirts of cities would solve this problem and allow government to provide sanitation, health services, etc. without making downtown unlivable for the productive.

[Vaduz]

When bribery is at it’s peak you always end up with poor governing policy and California is the prime example of it.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

And yet they continue to vote democrat. Will they ever learn?
