360 sats \ 12 comments \ @0xbitcoiner 12 Jan charts_and_numbers

To come up with this ranking, RentCafe analyzed 139 contiguous metropolitan areas with a population of at least 300,000 people.

An index consisting of 3 main categories and 17 underlying metrics was constructed using public sources such as the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS).

Visit RentCafe to see the full index methodology, as well as the full city list.

That list is pure insanity.

Whatever metric they're using is completely untethered from reality.

Is it so far from reality? Or is it the index calculation method that doesn't make any sense?

I think the issue likely stems from how cities are defined. For instance, most people who work in San Francisco have such long commutes that they don't live in San Francisco, so no one living in San Francisco hurts the commute metric.

If they used Metropolitan Statistical Areas, which are a more natural definition of cities, it would look a lot different.

It'll basically be New Brunwick once Pollievre uses "economic force" to annex all the border states haha

Maybe we can trade Quebec.

We're gonna need more than Maine for Québec. I'm thinking all of New England. Plus future considerations because we'll be stuck with Conneticut if we take all New England.

I don’t know if they will accept. Quebec has a bad contract with a lot of player options. They could be a free agent at any time.
