California is where the mega corporations got their way. An elite few end up super wealthy and the rest are going to be poor looking for a welfare check or scraps.
Damn white supremacist!
No mention of the real cause - importing poverty-stricken, low-skilled illegal aliens.
Notice the slant of the article is that this is surprising.
The only surprise is that 90% of Californians aren’t living below the poverty level.
Give the Democrats another fifty years and they will make it happen!
No surprise. This is what results from a one-party, communist government.
Step 2. Drive out more producers/taxpayers
Step 3. Invite more illegals and homeless
Step 4. Complain about poverty rate
Step 5. Repeat steps 1-4
Liberal Elites in Hollywood MUST have a large pool of ‘servants’ to sift between... the leftovers can be supported by middle class citizens... ‘let them eat cake’ and all...
1. Generous benefits, (EBT, food stamps, free apartment, free phone, free healthcare) are NOT counted. The person who gets all those, which add up to $50,000 or more a year, is still counted as POOR.
2. Freeloaders go where the benefits are good, raising the numbers.
3. Normal people get the hell out, raising the percentage of “poor” people.
Sure sign of democrat success
Of no concern to the USA....
‘Cause socialism does not work...thump...socialism does not work...thump...socialism does not work...thump...socialism does not work...thump...socialism does not work...thump...socialism does not work..
Democrats love the poor so much, they create more of them.
It’s all those Pumpkin Spice Latte’s.
Just wait until their CALPERS pension payouts start getting the axe.
Not long ago,California was still fruitcake land but conservative with Reagan as Governor and if it were a country,its economy was believed to be in the top ten in the world. California dream was part of the the American dream. Those days are gone.
You can google for images of California homeless.

There are over 1,000 people living in the Santa Ana river bank. Not much water now but enough to use as a bathroom causing all kinds of disease along with the trash that gets washed out to the sea. I see people living in the post office parking lot near me. The Sepulvada dam park area has dozens if not hundreds living along the creeks that connects to the LA river. I go to the park and see the makeshift camps and I can hear them talking in the brush out of sight.
This is the democrats fault nationwide.
We actually have a strong Conservative running for Governor, an assemblyman from Huntington Beach named Travis Allen. He is gaining steam (has over 300,000 Facebook followers) and is running on a pro business, anti illegal alien, lower tax platform and is fighting to repeal Jerry Browns gas and car tax increase.
I hope he can at least get passed the primary. Still, knowing this state, I have to believe Gavin Newsome is a shoo in to be next governor.
CA will eventually be a land of wealthy business owners, wealthy retirees and their low wage Hispanic servants.
CA does not want middle class Americans.
Former CA Governor Ronald Reagan is spinning in his grave at what Jerry Brown has done, and is doing, to this once great state.
Cant they just sell a couple of houses and fix that?
