“There is money in places you wouldnt even suspect back east that you just dont find here. Here’s an example, in Socal we have Frazee Paint stores, Dunn Edward Paint Stores, Vista Paint Stores, Home Depot, Lowes and Dixieline which I guess pay their employees $10 to $15 an hour.”

The East Coast is also loaded with similar corporate-owned franchises. For decades the mass-developed East Coast suburbs have seen strip mall after strip mall go up, all full of corporate-owned franchises. And Southern Cal has its fair share of family-owned businesses. I don’t quite get the attempted distinction between East and West Coasts.
There are plenty of people making plenty of money on both coasts, and there are plenty of people just scraping by on both coasts.
