Yes, since all the multi-millionaire politicians and VIPs have luxury estates on a bluff in Malibu, who cares about the flood of poverty and crime invading the rest of the L.A. Basin.
After all, who is going to make their beds and tend their gardens if all of the illegal Mexicans they hired for pathetic, unfair wages get deported. Then they might be forced to pay competetive wages...let's not forget that Malibu is a long, long way from East L.A. They don't have to live anywhere near "the help."
Not all of them live in Malibu. There are a whole lot more in Newport Beach, Palos Verdes, Corona Del Mar, Laguna Hills, Bel Air Estates, Beverly Glen, Coto De Caza, just to name a few others.
As I said, the politicians and politically connected and the rest of the rich elite have put up very tall and strong finanical fences in Southern California. They wont wallow in it like the rest of the hard working, average Americans will have to. Bet the rent.
