Couldn't have anything to do with the illegals in the fine sovereign state of Kalifornia, could it?

Kalifornia has attracted a permanent underclass with the goal of expanding and solidifying a permanent Dem(onized) voting block. Brown and his horde of comrades must be in a permanent state of orgasm because this is every leftist's political dream.

Andy, speaking as a citizen of NYS, I wish to inform you that we shall accept your challenge. We will take your title. We will crush you. We will embarrass you.

I think it's because they are forced to give red states all those tax dollars...or something like that....

You know...the whole "woe is me" thing. Pay out more than they take in...blah blah blah...all those backwards red states suck in too many fed $$$....That will be part of the blame, anyway. Always is...

[Andy Asaro]

People who vote for Democrats are asking this to happen to their states. It's inevitable with crazies making policy.

How are the homeless and poverty rates trending in North Dakota these days?

Ehhemmm....this just in......homeless people of all races tend to head for warmer climates
and places where they may actually be treated with some dignity and compassion.

California is doing, and will continue to do, just fine.
Thanks for your genuine concern, though.

The top sixteen states on your list are red states. As I am sure you are aware.
Not only is AA cherry picking by citing poverty rate, he is citing a particular aspect of poverty rate.

Median income tells us much more about how a state is doing as a whole. In median income, California ranks ninth. The only red.state which ranks higher is Alaska. The bottom TWENTY ONE states in median income are RED STATES .

These five states have seen the most rapid increases in homelessness over the past decade
https://www.salon.com/2018/03/03/the...ecade_partner/

Homelessness increased in the U.S. in 2017 for the first time since 2010, and advocates for homeless people are alarmed. Ten city and county governments have declared states of emergency since 2015 in response; meanwhile, Department of Housing and Urban Development head Ben Carson shows ongoing disinterest in supporting local governments’ efforts.

While cities like Los Angeles are facing a well-publicized crisis as they struggle to find long-term solutions, California is surprisingly not even one of the states with the five fastest increases in homelessness, according to a new survey compiled by Credit Loan.

Beyond the division of sheltered versus unsheltered, experts disagree on the best methods of measuring rates of homelessness. The Credit Loan survey uses a point-in-time (PIT) count from HUD data that communities collect from physical outreach to determine how many individuals are literally homeless on a designated day. This data is pulled from PIT count numbers from 2007-2016. Other groups like the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness prefer to rely on the numbers generated through statewide data systems to measure homelessness in their states.

According to the Credit Loan survey, these are the states that saw the most significant increases and decreases in homelessness over the past 10 years:
