Did the welfare system and social benefits exist back then? Did California support a third of the country's welfare recipients? Were drug addicts, crazies and vagrants living on sidewalks? Was the state billions in debt to state pensions? Was it supporting millions of illegals.?
As predicted, no one bothered to read the article written by someone who knows facts not feeeeeeelings.
In 1906? No there wasn't welfare, but San Francisco had a number of ethnic benevolent associations that helped many of the victims of the earthquake and fire. After my grandparents lost everything in the earthquake the French Mutual Benevolent Society helped them find a place to live and put up the money for them to reopen their laundry. And there were drunks back then, plenty of them and opium addicts too so don't be so quick to act like all the things that plague us in 2019 are new problems because they aren't.
And to think this is a housing market based website. A cracker box in a California ghetto is worth more than McMansion in flyover country. Why? Because California has the jobs. The job creators must love California.
"A cracker box in a California ghetto is worth more than mcmansion in flyover country" is reason 1,524,313 why there has been a steady middle class outmigration from California for over a decade.
California has a Gini coefficient of a Central American country.

The report finds most of the people leaving California tend to earn less than $30,000 a year. The state is doing a better job of attracting people earning between $50,000 and $100,000 — more households at that income level have moved into California than left. https://www.scpr.org/news/2018/05/03...while-the-bay/
According to official California legislative government statistics, the state had a net outmigration of residents with incomes of $110,000 or less.
