Would be interesting to take a poll asking homeless people in California what state they came from. Doesn't matter. Plenty would spin a yarn of fiction, anyways. But the truth is likely that many of them came from somewhere else.
A co-worker of mine is from Michigan. They moved to California because her husband was offered an attractive job. Suffice to say, they didn't take certain things into consideration. And the job wasn't as great as was represented. And they both thoroughly regret moving here and are trying to save enough money to move back. So they say. And I hope they do because she is not pleasant to work around. I once blundered into her and her husband arguing and gesturing very loudly with an employee in the return line of the local Walmart. They made quite a scene.
The homeless aside, California is chock full o' rich, white liberals (who live behind gated, guarded communities) and their pet Mexicans. Many of whom that built their homes, fences, and gates!
Hypocrisy and irony.
