| Look at the percentage of people living below the poverty level in Homestead: Almost 30% |
From CensusLet's make a comparison to Pinecrest, right down the road....
 |
| Persons living below the poverty level: 6.1% |
I don't think we want to look at Florida City...but we will.
 |
| Almost half the people live in poverty in Florida City. What is wrong with this picture? Maybe the Mayor for Life can't do anything right for his community. They certainly gave him enough time. How long has he been in office for 30 years (or close to it)? |
Certainly you can't blame the politicians for this because the education levels of the residents are abysmal. 6% of Florida City residents have a Bachelor's degree. Only 55% have graduated high school. In Pinecrest 64% have a Bachelor's degree and the high school graduate rate is at 95%. What you need in theses poverty stricken areas is training for jobs. GOVERNMENT should invest in training for the jobs available. Instead they spend money on housing and stuff that does not lift the people up.
