Calling California "Cali" is a surefire way to make it clear you haven't spent much time there. No one in California uses that terminology. Cali is a city in Columbia.
Yeah, I got a kick out of that one and "San Antone" NOBODY from here calls San Antonio that. LOL
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Dallas Chinatown is even in Dallas, but rather one of the other municipalities (Richardson).
Yes, Dallas's "Chinatown" is in Richardson. Koreatown is technically within Dallas city limits; however, it's much closer to 635 than Downtown. At least with Chinatown, it's pretty close to Richardson's old Main St/Greenville Ave. and along the DART rail line (technically no station there). It would've made much more sense to build a station and TOD near Main St. in Richardson and have a more urban Chinatown nearby as opposed to a bunch of strip malls. The closest rail station is Spring Valley, which is way too autocentric. But planners here are stupid!!!

Welcome to Texas. A state that knows how to building suburban cities instead of urban cities.
I would guess this poster means California has issues with income imbalance and both states have large immigrant populations. I am not sure if immigration is an issue. If anything, it helps grow the workforce. California, due to high housing prices, is squeezing out middle income earners while attracting high income earners.
I know it's tempting to compare and contrast CA and TX. They are large states with big populations and big economies. Outside of that, city to city comparisons are probably more helpful. Living in the city of Dallas or Austin is going to be quite different that rural areas of TX or smaller cities. California has rural areas as well that may seem like TX with some mountains in the background.
