A report from U.S. News & World Report ranks California last in quality of life. But is the outlook really so bleak?

Jack Pitney on the U.S. News report:

It's really a tale of two states. For a lot of people, California is a great place to live. We have all the attractions, we have the cultural diversity and all of the intellectual resources, so it's a terrific place in that respect.

But, as Carla pointed out, it's not a great place to be poor. According to the US Census Bureau, the supplemental poverty measure, we actually have the highest poverty rate in the United States. So it's great for a lot of people, but for some Californians, not so great.
