I think the US should allow all refugees and illegals into the US but immediately ship them all to sanctuary cities.
Oh and cut off all federal aid dollars to them.

Its even more so than most people understand. Northern California in particular has been using gentrification to resist what has gone on in So Cal. It does so under the cover of environmentalism which restricts the supply of housing.

Here is that right wing mythology again. Always telling the left what it believes. And virtually always wrong.

The cost of CA housing is driven by the free market. It is a highly desirable place to live. Poverty levels are mildly high simply because it is a lot nicer place to live then elsewhere.

Would be nice if the right would adopt a new myth once in a while.

He's talking about crime rates over the last decade, you're talking about just 2015?

Are you going to nitpick a small subset of data to prove that crime is going up when the overall trend is going down? How about you get a brain and start using it for once.

Stop it.


No you look at the trends over an extended period of time-increases in crime in the past 3-year period still amounts to major improvements over the long term.

Los Angeles is a much safer city now than when I lived there. Downtown is booming and the air is much improved.


Yes but this is not due to a lack of good governance. What'a your point?


Nope. Backwards Neoconservatives stand in the way of progress

So people are xenophobic if they want illegal criminals deported ? Wow
What an insult to all the victims of these crimes .
You really think Kate Steinle was the only one killed or harmed by illegals ?

This is a bad side effect of the liberal media that chooses to rarely report on crime caused by illegals .

Good Trump will be publishing that list soon .

California violent crime is up . The downtrend of crime going down is reversing and liberals are saying we should be happy .

I guess it's ok though for them because "they haven't been victims of crime" or "they won't be victims "

Yankees did the same thing during and after the Civil War.

"We want to free the slaves!" --- "...but, we don't want them living in our neighborhoods though" --- "they can have their own neighborhoods"
