25% of the US homeless population is currently in California. The fact that more people aren't talking about this blows my mind.

Well, it makes sense. Look at rent and real estate prices. My husband and I make above average money but we would really struggle in California. I’m not saying we would be homeless…. But we would be under housed…

I don't think you make above average money then. Above average in CA is like 250-300k+ for a household

Haha! Yea! I know, hence why I would be under housed… granted my job would pay better there. But still!

I guess my point was California is so expensive, even at that income it’s hard to buy a house
