  Ask what? If Khmer Rouge was a beacon on the hill for democracy?

  The Khmer Rouge period (1975–1979) refers to the rule of Pol Pot, Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, Son Sen, Khieu Samphan and the Khmer Rouge Communist party over Cambodia, which the Khmer Rouge renamed as Democratic Kampuchea.

  Cambodia is another failed communist nation.. I never mentioned Cambodia.. as I stated, Thailand, Singapore, and South Korea did become successful. The communist nations become a killing field.

  Understood. I was merely pointing out the neighboring countries which share a border with Vietnam - Cambodia, Laos and China did not "became far more stronger and democratic after Saigon fell".

  Sacramento blows. Way too much pollution from farming and cars. My poor niece suffered until she turned 18 and could escape. A friend of mine adopted a kid and she is so allergic that she required injections. I wouldn't put anyone through that. It's also just too hot with so many extremely sketchy hoods.

  Still beats Stockton though.

  "engineers struggle to build life changing nanotechnology at $88,000 a year"

  Are you implying $88,000.00 is a low salary?

  Living on this kind of income in the SFBA can be done even by a family of 3-4. What it means is the family is limited to a rent budget of ~$2500/mo and will probably be living paycheck to paycheck.
