Figure 4 agrees with you. Does that count all people or just legal residents?[/quote]
I printed out this interesting USC study and will look it over tonight.
Figure 4 also indicates the “poverty rate” of LA County dropped after about 2003. Where did many of LA’s longtime “poor” go?
They moved just 30-50 miles to RIV and SB Counties where they were “lured” by “cheap” new construction, which they “miraculously qualified” to buy with sub-prime mortgages.
That’s my premise. Big Development successfully “lured” SoCal’s “poor” and “lifetime renters” into the IE with billboards and TV/Radio advertising.
All this “LA County exodus” really did was “redistribute” some of the poverty in CA. It didn’t cause “poor people” to move in from elsewhere.
Not only do more affluent cities in CA disallow billboards, their residents had no need to move to RIV or SB County. Most already had a suitable home in a much better location.
