Why East Palo Alto? I understand the demographic reasons, but there are plenty of other "cities" (as Lewis termed it) just like it.
I was wrong, East Palo Alto won in 2000 but fell a few spots in 2004.
Yes, but my question stands.
I don't really know why the Hispanics in East Palo Alto are so liberal. I doubt they are outnumbered by whites, maybe blacks.
The only two things that set East Palo Alto apart are a really bad school system (by any standard) and the IKEA.
It's also basically the poorest city in the bay area. It might not have the poorest neighborhood, but the city as a whole is the poorest I do believe.
