1. Hey wow, 2 places I've lived on the list.
2. Why is the Worker's Paradise of California so well represented? That's weird.

And the article blames Arnold for California's woes. It can't be the metric fuckton of social programs we have (for both legal and illegal citizens) that are paid for with a ridiculous amount of taxes. Nope, it has to be that Republican's fault.
As for Toledo, again two decades of Democrats running the place. Not just Dems, but the exact same Dems over and over. Corporations have gone to the press and made statements that they won't come to Toledo because of the corruption within local government, yet the people here keep voting them back into office.

Stockton has a shitload of uemployment and a huge gang problem. When I was outside of there I remember reading a story that a few gang symbols were outlawed and you could be arrested for just wearing them. It was upheld in the court when challenged by the gangs.

Arnold was moved in when CA kicked the old governor out. CA was already a sinking ship by then, and it was hoped that new blood would turn things around.
I have family in Modesto, which is also where much of Monsters VS Aliens takes place.
I literally thought, "Why even put Modesto on that list? You might as well put Fresno on if you're going to do that."
Then Fresno came up as #17. I LOL'd.
