The debt does negate, but there's still money, lots of it, coming in, not just money, but talent from other places, all coming here, I don't know if they know what they're in for, but they're still coming. In terms of poverty, of course, the border state with most people will most likely have a high poverty rate, there's no way around that, but don't fall into the trap of thinking everyone here is poor and wondering where the next meal is coming from. There's clearly a lot of people here doing well. With that said, people bsh California all day on CD, sometimes Californians bash back, so here we are. Whether Californians are the worst or the horde of BFE posters here that do the same is, I don't know if I can put a number on either to say which one is in fact worse (even though we are in a thread started to bash CA, lol).
I have found many Californians overly defensive.

But I won't deny that, yes, people bash the hell out of it.

I lived in California, I'm well aware of how much money is there....it's hard to wrap your mind around it.

But overall I don't think CA is in a good place; I think the opposite is true.

We personally couldn't wait to GTF outta there. We planned to live there for 5 years but left after 2, lol.

Ha, I see that from time to time. I'm originally from NYC so I'm used to the upside down politics, I'm gonna stick it out for the time being and wait for the pendulum to swing back to reality.

California has a lot of money and rich people, Appalachia doesn't.

What is California's excuse for the poverty in CA if liberals there believe in socialism.

seems like everybody there should be middle class at minimum if socialism works.

there's plenty of rich people in california so why hasn't their tax revenue solved poverty.

Most hillbillies are patriotic, though. As in "Murica, Miller lite drinking, big trucks lol etc. They don't hate America like some of the leftists.

I truly don't think it ever will. But for your and the state's own sake, I hope it does.

California cities are among the best for socioeconomic advancement. No doubt, they have a lot of issues with poverty, but at least they are not stuck like in the South.
