Why is liberal California the poverty capital of America?

Dare I say that this is a big part of why Trump wants to Make America Great Again?? As El Rushbo said this past Friday, Trump is on the way to "debuttholing" America. So...if Trump did indeed make this vulgar remark about some third world nations, why are so many people's panties in a wad when you consider places like downtown L.A. -- and Trump's campaign slogan? :coffee:

And ditto for the fawning, adoring lamestream media who is always loathe to portray their beloved leftists in a poor light. Like anything in this life, people or a medium can be a force for good or evil. The media has chosen the latter by hiding or downplaying the plight of the homeless in these liberal-run "meccas", when instead they could be casting a huge spotlight on them and pressuring government to take positive, bi-partisan steps to alleviate the poor's horrendous situation.

Republicans are just as much the blame for not making this a a huge, national issue, and coming up with viable solutions. Further, not only could the Republicans in these blue states reveal to the world the seedy, corrupt underside to Democrat policies but their hypocrisy, as well, since the Dems are always fond of portraying themselves as the one and only champions of the downtrodden and poor. Where is the social justice in perpetuating the horrible plight of millions of homeless? Where are all those liberal social justice warriors? (Funny how it's always the weakest and most defenseless in our society (the unborn and homeless to name two groups) that either get attacked or ignored.)

Both parties are despicable and worthy of only our contempt. I only wish Trump could pull the drain plug on the the entire Beltway Swamp to drain it quickly and entirely.

[chadk66]

another liberal success story :lol:

[MargieRose]

There is no excuse for all of the filth piling up in the gutters, as shown in that video. The least the city elites can do is line the streets with trash pails and hand out some brooms for the "residents" to use (maybe, a requirement for welfare benefits). In addition, they should form an ongoing cleanup committee and personally lead the crew on cleanup duty...weekly, if not more (maybe, a job requirement). Why not?

[Inner Dirt]

Been that way since I lived there in the early 80’s

I used to work on 8th Street near Central a block from skid row and a couple blocks from the Union Rescue Mission in the early 80's. Actually a lot of those pictures in the video look better than what I saw. Looks like development gave way to people sleeping in tents, a major upgrade from cardboard boxes and passing out drunk and or high on the bare sidewalk. That whole area stunk to high heaven, kind of like concentrated piss.

[JustRalph]

This guy could take this same drive/video in any large city in America.

Here in Houston they live under the freeway ramps. A Federal Judge ordered the city to leave them alone. He basically gave them squatters rights on city property.

So...to use an argumentum ad absurdum: If the Great Sovereign State of Mississippi had a population of 100 people and 20 of them were impoverished that 20% rate is a more meaningful stat than a 15% Kalifornia rate with population of 3,000,000 people? Or in the real world: Kalifornia has a population of approx. 39,500,000 whereas Mississippi has a population of about 2,900,000. Kalifornia has more than 13 times the population of Mississippi. Might wanna consider weighting those numbers in the graph. Just sayin'... :coffee:

It's not the total number of poor, it's the number of poor per 100,000 people.It's called a RATE. Of course, California is going to have more poor people because they have more people. If Mississippi's population suddenly bloomed to California's and kept the same poverty rate, they would have more total poor than Cali. Dig?

Now if the red states could keep their hands out of the pockets of the wealth producing blue states, California might have more resources to combat the problem of poverty . ;)

Hope you can find the time for what will follow.

Everyone knows that San Fran is the place where you leave your heart -- well, maybe not so much anymore -- even though San Fran is the West's version of ancient, opulent, cultural Babylon. I mean...if there's a liberal utopia anywhere on this planet, it's San Francisco. Well...maybe I'm exaggerating. Maybe San Fran was all that in the memorable past. But now, it's better known as this country's Capital of Poop.

San Francisco Requires Poop Maps To Help Pedestrians Avoid Human Waste

For those who have maintained that San Francisco is full of . . . whatever, there is now living proof. How much poop is there on the streets of the City by the Bay?

Would you believe there is an online map to track human feces on the city’s streets? There is.

According to Fox News, one area of the city reported a 140% rise in feces. As Jay Caruso of RedState noted, “Public urination is so widespread it has damaged subway elevators and escalators, building walls and power poles.”

https://www.dailywire.com/news/12001/san-francisco-requires-poop-maps-help-pedestrians-hank-berrien

Man... the neglected, ignored homeless are poopin' like there ain't gonna be a tomorrow. San Fran Poop Volume is climbing at a rate that rivals the Dow! City officials have much to be proud of. I wouldn't leave my worst enemy in that city, let alone my heart. :rolleyes:

Oh yeah...before I forget...the actual Poop Map.

https://boingboing.net/2014/11/25/map-of-human-excrement-in-san.html

Now that we know that our beloved San Fran is up to its eyebrows in deep do-do, can't we all agree that this city, too, can be categorized as one of any number kind of holes? Can we all agree, regardless of our politics that San Fran needs to be debuttholed? Can we all agree that it's these kinds of environments, in mostly large, liberal-run cities, that are crying out "Make America Great Again"? Can we all agree that since cities like San Fran and L.A. are quintessential sanctuary cities that can neither take care of its own or the illegals that are already here that it is beyond foolhardy to open the floodgates for more impoverished migrants?

Oh yeah...thanks for your valuable time, RP! :coffee:

The strapped middle class continues to flee bad schools, high taxes, rampant crime and poor state services. About one-third of the nation's welfare recipients reside in California. Approximately one-fifth of the state lives below the poverty line. More than a quarter of Californians were not born in the United States.
Many of the state's wealthiest residents support high taxes, no-growth green policies and subsidies for the poor. They do so because they reside in apartheid neighborhoods and have the material and political wherewithal to become exempt from the consequences of their own utopian bromides.

Feng said the main goal of the new registration process is to make it easier for people who are eligible to vote to register. “There are 5 to 6 million eligible voters in California who are not registered to vote,” Feng said.


The above blows my mind, it is already so easy to register to vote in California it isn't funny. Months before elections almost every large supermarket has "register to vote" stations out front. If you register to vote by mail your application is approved so fast there is no way it was properly vetted. Democrats are pushing to get more illegals voting plan and simple.

After 30 years of voting in California I moved to Virginia. Major difference, first instead of getting approved registering by mail in the matter of a week it took over a month to get a rejection notice claiming I skipped a question about mental health. I had to reapply. At the polls in California you state your name without producing I.D. they turn a long print out of addresses toward you and point and ask "Is this you?". Answer yes and they cross through that name and hand you a ballot. In Virginia after being found on the rolls you have to hand someone your driver's license and recite your name and address exactly how it appears on it, they also look at you to see if the picture is you. After what seems like a minor grilling you are handed a ballot.

Arcadia is not the typical California city. From Wikipedia:

In 2016, Arcadia was ranked the 5th most expensive housing market in the United States by Business Insider, with an average list of $1,748,680 for a four-bedroom home.

January 3, 2018 New York—Over the past two decades, even as crime rates all around the country were falling to record lows, the drop in crime in New York City was something special.

For the 27th straight year, crime is down again in the nation’s largest city – and once again to record-setting, jaw-dropping lows. In 2017, there were only 290 murders all year, officials estimate, smashing the previous record low of 333, set in 2014 – and an 87 percent decline from 1990, when there were nearly 2,262 murders.

It is so comical how liberals blame the economy or lack of affordable housing for the homeless population increases in certain areas. I think being liberal means you have to close your eyes, not use any common sense and just believe without fail what your liberal propaganda sources tell you. As someone who worked a couple years in an office smack dab in the middle of Skid Row decades ago I can tell you one thing that is 100% fact, 95% or more of homeless people are hardcore drug addicts, alcoholics, mentally ill or all of the above. If you gave them a $20 an hour job sorting recyclables and a one bedroom apartment for $500 a month, most would not take it. Don't know if it is still done but back in the day a person could draw SSI disability of a small amount for being an alcoholic or drug addict.

Liberals must not realize that the costs of just about everything goes up because of their policies. They must think it all comes from the government OR rich people and big corporations. But really, I do not know if they do think.

[Tom]

Liberals do not have the capacity to connect the dots - they only see individual feel good things and are not capable of seeing they interact with others things.


Like a bunch of sugar-fueled kids loose in a candy store - gimmie this, and that, and that.......

I had a boss like that once, he would spend $100 to save $5.
When all the fuss about the environment came out, he decided that he would do hi part to save the Earth by banning styrofoam coffee cups because they were bad for the landfills.
Only paper cups from now on.

So he had us throw out the three boxes of foam cups and replace them with paper one.

There is a relationship between homelessness levels and warm climates.
Add in the fact that these people might prefer living in a state where
they are still treated as human beings, that would make California a

Where do you live? Ever been around a lot of homeless people? I have, I used to work at an electrical supply house on 8th and Central a block from skid row. 95%+ of the homeless there are interested in one thing, getting drunk and or high. They will relieve themselves anywhere, any place and make no effort to clean up after themselves. There are numerous amounts of dumpsters in the alleys where they live, but they don't use them. They will steal anything that isn't tied down. They don't behave like human beings, so how do they deserve to be treated like human beings? Lack of affordable housing contributing to homelessness is a myth 99.9% of the time.

I do understand something like 25% of them are mentally ill, that doesn't excuse the way the other 75% behave. Being poor is no excuse for living like a pig in slop and not cleaning up after yourself. If they can walk to the corner liquor store to score a bottle of Thunderbird, or walk around to scavenge and steal they can use the trash cans. Most all of the people who feel sorry for them haven't interacted with them. Most of them do nothing to help themselves. All the homeless advocates should put one up in their own house for a while and see if it changes their opinion of them.

The thread is about California. They have 136 billion dollars in pension debt. They run a 40 billion deficit a year and sell bonds like crazy to cover it up. Which leads to more debt.

Some estimates show 3-5 trillion in real actualized debt. You can only move money around on the board for so many years. When cops and teachers stop getting paid their pensions they are going to howl for help from the Feds.

That's why I am a big proponent of moving state and federal employees off pensions like the private sector did 10-15 years ago. Freeze the pensions that are out there and make them strictly 501c plans. 501c plans are equivalent to 401k plans, but for govt entities.
