Statistically, Portland, Oregon has the most street kids, like kids that run away from home and live on the street. It's like a whole culture thing there. If you walk around on the streets, there are kids living on the streets, begging for money, but it's almost like a cool thing. They all just sit around and play music and squat.

I personally don't even try to compare New York and L.A. To me, they are just way too different.

Healthcare expenses often wipe out families.
