In San Francisco, Monica Burton, who now commutes from Sacramento, plays with goddaughter Zaria Ivory, Ajianah Daniels and granddaughter Tyria Burton. At right, Misty Richmond pushes a baby near the Golden Gate Bridge.

This same story can be told about Chicago, Seattle, New York, Boston, etc. Cities of DINKs and SINKs.

main breadwinner for her family, which includes a 22-year-old daughter and two granddaughters

Husbands/fathers would be a good idea.

Gee, when you fill an entire city with child predators, of course any respectable parent will get their children out of harms way. Kick out the gays and watch the families move back in.

I sold my home in Orange County a few years ago for almost a million dollars, took a job in Calgary Canada, bought a house a little better for about $400,000 (US), went laughing all the way to the bank.

Paid about $250,000 in the mid-80's... always felt like I paid too much

I even told the family that bought the house they were f--king insane.

If dying with a mortgage is your dream, enjoy suckers.

Well, my guess is that there were fathers somewhere in the equation. But they are likely long gone. This family may find somewhat cheaper housing in Sacramento, but the city is a pit. Time Magazine called it, "America's Most Diverse City." Maybe so, but what they failed to mention is that Sacramento's prosperous and growing suburbs; Roseville, Rocklin, Auburn, Granite Bay, Folsom and Placerville are not diverse at all. They are predominately white. The family in this picture is moving to Sacramento, a city with high crime rates and high housing costs. They could have done much better.

This has got to hurt the RATS big time over the next several decades.

It's likely to hurt us more. Move a liberal family out of Minneapolis and into Oklahoma City, and you're just adding five more liberals to Oklahoma City. Minneapolis will just replace what it lost from country kids who want to move to the city.

Voting Republican is positively correlated with being married and having children. W won 25 of the 26 states with the highest fertility. Gore and Kerry got their highest margins in the states with the lowest fertility. The DemocRATS agenda has gotten more and more hostile to traditional families. As Republican portions of the country outbreed DemocRAT portions, power will shift to the regions with more population growth.

On the East Coast, a similar trend is underway, with middle-class families fleeing the New York region and Boston for the South.

Hey, we resemble this remark!
