This is really good advice because what will happen........most likely......... OP you will end up living on the streets getting in confrontations with us from CD when you harass us for handouts at the local shopping areas and wondering why you came to the top 3 highest cost of living areas in the US with no plan just a fantasy.

Which was exactly my point. Why LA specifically? You'd have an easier time getting started in places that have a lower COL as well as a better job economy.

Those Armenians?!?!?

Theres like really no way you can get all that money from welfare and the government if you don't have kids under 18.

I see lots of them with kids under 18. Apparently they all live in the same house and all work at one family members' business and get paid under the table and collect wellfare on the side....or so I've heard. But I have seen people pay for groceries with EBT and go out and drive off on in their brand new Mercedes with no plates on it

Its almost hard to believe that those people in Glendale are doing such things and for so long.

It's almost like you need to have a whole lot of kids under 18 and fit all sorts of requirements and criteria not just for income to even think about getting that kind of money from the government.

If there is one thing that I will say about them is that they are a very family oriented culture. They seem to have a lot of kids and extended family and they help each other out

Many also receive benefits for asylum.

This is a common sight in the parking lot of the Ralphs on N Central in Glendale.

Even the ones that are young, punk, gang member wannabes live at home with mom, dad, siblings and their aunts, uncles and cousins. At least from my experience in the neighborhoods I've lived in
