The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

The list of the most expensive metro areas is always like, every major city in California, Honolulu, NYC, Seattle, Miami, and DC, in some order, and I think that’s basically a good ranking of which places would grow the most if homebuilding were liberalized.

I had no idea just how many Portuguese people had immigrated to Northern California until I moved here.
It's a lot, and there's still a radio station broadcasting Portuguese programs on weekends in the South Bay.
