Democrat controlled California, with its suffocating cost of living, is home to an inordinate number of households receiving public assistance. In fact, with $103 billion going toward welfare, the Golden State’s spending on the financially needy is more than the next two on the list combined.
Democrat controlled New York, at number two, paid out $61.4 billion in 2015, while Texas, in the third spot, spent $35.4 billion, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.

That's total expenditures, not per capita. Of course CA will be at the top. And that is 2015 data from what I can tell. How about you provide your definition of welfare and link to some official current data rather than just news articles?

2018 - California state and local governments spent nearly $958 billion from 1992 through 2015 on public welfare programs, including cash-assistance payments, vendor payments, and “other public welfare,” according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Unfortunately, California, with 12 percent of the American population, is home today to roughly one in three of the nation’s welfare recipients.
55 percent of immigrant families in the state get some kind of means-tested benefits, compared with just 30 percent of natives.

A story from my side of the tracks:
Let me help you out - you’ve listed these points before, therefore they are no longer valid - even if they were valid, and still are valid, just because they have already been said. Even if your arguments point to the fatal flaw in my governance, the arguments are not valid because.... you cannot disagree with me. So there. You are stupid, regardless of your education.... and probably racist and don’t even know it. Which explains why you cannot agree with me.
My left coast, white bent, is farmed from cradle to grave. We look the same, talk the same, focus on the same perceived problems, we get “deeply saddened and concerned” the same, we create our own fake problems and then fixate on unnecessary ways to solve the unnecessary problems. We’re actually just bored... I think. But since people give us attention we are pooling our resources and getting something done. So there.
My leaders don’t have to solve problems - they just must do something “new.” I will just mock you, even if I have no legitimate / half reasonable counter. If you don’t have new points to argue, then I win. Cool. I will continue to build my mountain of intelligent governance out of an Oregon sand bar. When it washes away after $30 billion in more failed experiments, I’ll just reload more junk into my recyclable cannon gun and dream up a better approach. My sincerest belief is that there is no foundational starting point. As long as I adhere to that party line, nobody can prove me wrong. Vote and spend away! Reload and do again! Joy! I love to see the sand bars wash away - it is beautiful, especially at sunset.
The only thing that keeps me awake is that losers tend to lose and winners tend to win. Once I change all the rules I have a sneaky feeling my new government and society will be run by the same line of humans who have always figured out how to take command in all situations. The bottom feeders seem to always settle back to the bottom... next to me. Not sure why that happens.
Logic and arguments do not sway me. I am sensitive to mockery, though. Mockery makes me unsettled. What if people give me exactly what I ask for and then take me to the woodshed when I fail to deliver. Scary. Mockery. Makes me feel sad.

Ok, fair enough. Apparently, the Census Bureau, has two measure of poverty: Official Poverty Measure and Supplemental Poverty Measure. The supplemental rate is less precise but attempts to take into account COL.
Here is the explanation:
https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2020/demo/p60-272.html#:~:text=Beginning%20in%202011%2C%20the%20U.S.,in%20the%20official%20poverty%20measure.atState tables are in the link below:
CA's OPM is 12.5% - in the bottom half of states. But its SPM is at the top at 20.3% (compared with 15.3% for the US overall. Next time do some actual research before just spamming articles.
https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/supplemental-poverty-measure/ACS-SPM-State-Tables-2009-2018.htmlI can’t believe Rojo is posting about this with everything that’s wrong going on in America today. This is everything that’s wrong with America today.

https://imgur.com/a/1PTsyj3What is your point? What I typed wasn't inaccurate.
But just to make sure that no one is offended, I have gone back and amended that post and changed "the normal" to "a cisgender".
I apologize if that offended you. I certainly wasn't implying that a transgender person is not normal in a pejorative way, only in a statistical way. Statistically speaking, the vast majority of people are cisgender and that's all I meant - normal in a statistical sense.
What you typed is exactly what you meant, everything you said in this new post is a backpeddle because either you realized how offensive your comments were, or someone told you. You were not speaking "statistically," that's pure bs and an afterthought. You think transgenders are abnormal. Everything you have ever posted on the topic shows that. You don't consider them to be "women" as your fixation with penises proves. The words you chose to have meaning and no amount of revisionist history is going to change them.
Rojo said:
I mean it seems totally crazy but then again, we have people thinking transgender women should be allowed to play women's sports simply because they don't feel the same as the normal person born with a penis. It's utter insanity.
Good luck.

Yikes!
Ana, look I coach track at Lincoln, first as a volunteer then as a paid coach. I’m originally from Missouri, went to an amazing university in the south then got the opportunity to live in Europe then here in San Francisco for the past 7 years. If so are so darn invested in this debate why don’t you actually come out and coach if your so knowledgeable. You’re rhetoric is completely off the grid, and you keep pushing a freaking book. It’s giving people who want to actually have a progressive debate about issues a bad name. You attack and attack it’s nothing but words, no actual meaning in your posts. If you’re so incised then come work with us and you’ll see that the kids don’t give two craps what the school is called, they just want guidance and positive attention. This has been one of the most rewarding jobs I’ve ever taken in my life, but it’s people like you that are giving this awesome city a bad name. How about you read some other books that you don’t agree with, get out of your bubble for a minute, get a different perspective on life. Because if your so woke that you have to reply to every stupid thread then you have a long way to grow up. Even more so I bet you don’t even understand the sacrifices these kids and coaches are making to make sure our scholastic athletes are making right now with everything being shut down. Yes the city is mismanaged, yes their are problems, and I believe renaming Lincoln high to PS 2422 is the least of our worries here. So please smoke a joint and go back and reread all of your posts. And please read more books other than the bs you keep pushing.

COL definitely seems to be a factor with 6 of the top 7 being among the most expensive states.
It’s interesting the SF has the same homeless pop rate as Savannah GA.
It’s not necessarily liberal vs conservative cities. Detroit and Atlanta are cities run by liberals but have among the lowest rates.
Youngstown, OH has the second lowest homeless pop rate. This is how cheap it is to buy a home there. No wonder there are so few homeless people.
https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Youngstown_OH/price-na-40000Here a book for you Ana,
The New Science of Narcissism by W. Keith Campbell, PhD w/ Carolyn Crist.
Maybe this is a book for you. See you at Kezar every week day on the backstretch. I’ll be there waiting for you to actually do something to help instead of being the posting warrior you are. In fact I’ll introduce you to some student athletes and you can ask them, politely, what they think of all of this.
Oh and another thing Ana, I bet you would be the first person to doxx me, so we will see where this actually goes.

Something that is being overlooked is the costs and who pays them.
Hate to get this discussion back on topic but I did just come across this in an article. It will cost almost a half million dollars if they decide to change all of the school names. Maybe Speaker Pelosi will generously donate the money to her district to save the taxpayers from footing the bill. After all, she is worth around $25 million I believe.
"The authors also noted that the effort would cost about $10,000 per school, as The New York Times first reported."
