Wonder what our OC troll thinks of the fact that Oakland has a higher percentage of college graduates than Tustin or Costa Mesa and a higher percentage of people with graduate degrees than those cities or Huntington Beach - and the same percentage as Mission Viejo!

Who knows, but what I am thinking is if there are more degrees, why is there more crime in oakland????? Is it something in the water? Bay area ethics???

That is not including smaller cities such as Monterey, Davis, Chico, San Luis Obispo, or Santa Cruz. Which all have a high number. I wonder how that list would look if it included cities as small as Monterey and it would also include Clairemont and the cities near Pomona like San Dimas.

Not that I'm backing him up or anything, but I don't think he's too concerned, as Oakland is still beat by Irvine, Newport Beach, Yorba Linda, and Mission Viejo and I don't recall Mr. Fantastic having ever preached the virtues of Tustin or Costa Mesa.
