Has it ever dawned on you that there are more homeless in California because we honor the constitution, and being homeless is not a crime?

Honor the constitution????? What a f$$king joke.....You ignore the rule of law on a daily basis. Not only do you ignore the law but you offer incentive to break it. |

Wow!! waves that big are scare me. Give me nice shoulder high waves and I am more than happy. I almost drown a few years back when supping 8 foot waves. Got rolled and my board ripped of my leg, then I got stuck in the white water exhausted with no floatation for 15 minutes.  |

So the measure of the constitutionality of a given state is by counting the homeless?
Wow, what planet are you from?
Oh that's right, planet Berkeley.
I might have to write that one down under mac's facts and figures. |

| Quote: | Births and Migration Push Population to Nearly 28 Million
Texas State Data Center | August 2017
Texas continues to have strong population growth in the second decade of the 21st century. This growth is from a robust and balanced combination of natural increase and net migration that pushed the state’s population to almost 28 million.
For each year between 2010 and 2016, Texas has had the nation’s largest annual population growth. During this period, the state added about 211,000 people per year through natural increase. |

California transplants take $1.77 billion in adjusted gross income with them

The number of Californians leaving the state and moving to Texas is at its highest level in nearly a decade, according to data from the Internal Revenue Service.
According to IRS migration data, which uses individual income tax returns to record year-to-year address changes, over 250,000 California residents moved out of the state between 2013 and 2014, the latest period for which data was available. The tax returns reported more than $21 billion in adjusted gross income to the IRS.
Of the returns, 33,626 reported address changes from California to Texas, which has been the top destination for individuals leaving California since 2007. Californians who moved to Texas between 2013 and 2014 reported $2.19 billion in adjusted gross income. |

Wow, that one will take some explaining.
The climate is certainly conducive to homelessness, so I guess if you don't have a roof over your head, the best place may be Calif. |

Classic. I ask people for a metric, Techno responds like an adult, the rest of you troll. Now its time for you to whine that you get any respect.
Techno makes the case that, on at least one metric, Texas is slightly better. But then you have to live in Texas. Been there, not doing that.
By the way, to get a fair set of metrics, you would have to plot a trend, not look at just a single year. For me, plotting a comparison of the average summer temperatures in the cities large enough to have at least some culture would reveal the vast superiority of California in livability when comfort is measured.
Now, this is only one incident, but it may be indicative of how Texans treat the homeless. We already know about dragging black men.

Dragging black men? And you wonder why you have zero respect. What an ignorant statement, to label a state of nearly 30 million by the actions of a handful of red neck POS... |
