    How many of those jurisdictions are DEMOCRAT-dominated?

    Correct. I'll stick with the current event right now. We need to get those mental institutions back up and running (as already stated).
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

We have the most wealth and most poverty. And we know the politics of the state.
    This article from BI says CA has nearly a quarter of the nation's homeless population. You say Cali has the most wealth yet housing is unaffordable in cities like LA or SF.

    "The crisis in San Francisco is by far the most acute, with United Nations Special Rapporteur Leilani Farha calling it a "human rights violation" and "a cruelty that is unsurpassed."

    The situation in Los Angeles is close behind: On any given night, around 1,800 people congregate in Skid Row, a dilapidated homeless encampment that's riddled with drugs, crime, and disease.

    Absolutely. Because no matter who's running the cities, counties or states, mentally-ill people are still disproportionately represented in homelessness stats.

    The OP on the other hand is a degenerate racist, and I have zero doubt what his concern about trash in LA is about....brown people taking over our cities

    Grow up, We're talking about major diseases entering our country joining the ones already here out west. It's a perfect storm and you're nit picking over involving race. I'm not taking the bait. Shove off.

    I was talking about your friend in the OP and his obvious phobia of brown people. Especially with reference to LA.

    You may not be aware of this, but brown people have been a very substantial part of the Los Angeles human landscape for over a century.

    White male privilege allows all those white homeless guys to live rent free on the streets of LA.

    IIRC brown people were settled in Cali long before white people came along.

    Please cite proof that laws against "vagrancy, drug possession, disorderly conduct, etc." are not enforced. And as for violent crime...

    "For the first time in five years, violent crime was down in Los Angeles in 2018, with the number of homicides on track to be among the lowest in more than 50 years.

    The data mirror an overall drop in crime this year in the parts of L.A. County patrolled by the Sheriff’s Department, as well as in San Francisco and Oakland...

    ...Overall, crime was down in all categories in 2018, except personal theft, which rose 3%. Property crime decreased by 2%, after increasing each year since 2015. Moore attributed the decline to strategies the department implemented several years ago to combat violent crime, including stepped-up analysis of data and an expansion of the elite Metropolitan Division."

    Too right you are.

    I doubt teabaggers are aware that California was at one time part of the sovereign nation of Mexico, and consequently brown people have been part of the Los Angeles landscape long before Hollywood moguls, movie stars, and Disneyland.

    You're really OCD about this. I'm talking about events on the west coast. Go rant elsewhere with somebody who's mentioned "BROWN PEOPLE."
