Feds would not allow them to go bankrupt, but based on what countless info points to, the state was literally bankrupt a few yrs ago..
There's more info like that out there.. in addition the state's credit rating is a lot lower than FL's (look it up).. CA was a basket case a few yrs back; similar to what is happening in Europe.
This is old news from 2012. Most were in DT St Pete and were out of town, drug addicts etc..(Dubbed "Family Reunification," the program covers the cost of one-way tickets for the passengers, some of whom are addicted to drugs or are mentally ill.) Either way, you don't nearly see as many homeless you see in LA in these videos.
Note: If you're gonna dig things from 4 yrs ago, why not talk about CA going bankrupt in 2011?
Another poster mentioned CA, especially LA, has a huge underclass(up to 45K homeless). Can't be a factor of COL, right? Must be the free pot that attracts them.
You have a tendency to refuse facing the facts..
Highly ironic.
Also if you wanna talk about 4 years ago, how about all the empty condos in DT Miami? Goes both ways.

Lol. Actually I'm not refusing any facts. I embraced the problem in both areas.
Guess you didn't read that far.
Btw, 2012 wasn't that long ago, I'm sure not much has changed. But since you brought it up, what has FL done to address this issue? At least CA improved since your bankruptcy claim, and still is one of the worlds leading economies. But by all means, keep pulling out these random, off-topic arguments.
Better live close to retirement communities than have to deal with the above..
And we are far more desirable. It's not even close. People pay more to live here.
If cali was as cheap as Florida you brought could add another 10-15 million residents .
