I have a friend who did contract IT work for a religious organization based in LA. Several times a year he'd fly there for about two weeks and he found LA to be 'profoundly depressing'.

Looks to me like Capitalization works best, especially when you factor in the weather difference between France and California.

everything you wrote after that is just wrong because you did not understand a very basic term like "household income" this is what happens when you set out with an agenda instead of seeking facts.
