12670998, Eh, I doubt they're actually poor

Like, the fact that they're moving in and that area is so close to prime areas like Mid-Wilshire show they aren't poor. And even still, that's too recent to really change folks mind.

I feel like within the areas most of us go to, Lawndale had the poorest whites, and even they are like lower-middle and nowhere near welfare level. Hawthorne right next door has those trailers, and those have some lower class ones, but not enough to really cause impact.

I compare it to the South, where those "Wal-Mart breeds" are. Although I do believe it when they say poor Blacks live in inner cities, and poor whites are usually in rural areas. And I still feel like L.A's "poor Blacks" aren't even close to as poor as they are in other cities. It costs a lot to live in some of our least desired areas.
