It’s just syndicated content from The Mercury News without the paywall the OG source has.

  Aha, thanks, that makes sense. So not a very deep story, but an interesting one nonetheless. Very interested in why a Kentucky Newspaper would syndicate it.

    To get middle-class to come to Kentucky by the virtue of their inherent mobility. It’s better than recruiting, oh let us say, homeless?

      That doesn't make any sense to me, becuase I don't think this recruits anybody to move to Kentucky, as Californias probably aren't reading the Kentucky newspapers, and even if they were there's nothing in the article to recommend Kentucky as the destination versus anywhere else. It would make far more sense as an advertisement to people in Kentucky to not move to California. However, I suspect that it may be mostly about solidifying political dividing lines in the country, in an attempt to separate us from each other. I don't have any evidence for my suspicion though.

        Yes, it is implicit advertising for (about to be) homeless in Kentucky.
