So suddenly, I'm the only one who thinks diversity is good. OK.

No, you're just seemingly the only one that thinks is the most important factor in determining an area where one should live.

Different people live in different areas and different types of environments because they are all different and have differents wants and needs and interests. Holy shit, is that a form of diversity?

Never said it was the most important thing. Frankly I just pulled it out of a hat, to dispute the claim that anywhere in TX is better than NY.

If you are going to tell a joke son, tell it right.

"I'm not prejudiced; I hate everyone."

I thought it was, "I'm not racist; I hate all [insert racial slur] equally."

back on topic

speaking of that big city traffic

http://www.inrix.com/pressrelease.asp?ID=156

Last year, only 890,000 of the 2.6 million new jobs were in our nation’s largest urban centers. These regions are down 6 million of the 9 million jobs lost during the Great Recession. Lack of employment combined with high fuel prices is clearly driving the decline in traffic.

By analyzing traffic in the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas in 2011, the Top 10 Worst U.S. Traffic Cities1 are:
1. Honolulu: Drivers waste 58 hours in traffic2; Worst Hour = Tuesday from 5:15 – 5:30pm

2. Los Angeles: Drivers waste 56 hours in traffic2; Worst Hour = Thursday from 5:45 – 6:00pm

3. San Francisco: Drivers waste 48 hours in traffic2; Worst Hour = Thursday from 5:45 – 6:00pm

4. New York: Drivers waste 57 hours in traffic2; Worst Hour = Friday from 5:30 – 5:45pm

5. Bridgeport, CT: Drivers waste 42 hours in traffic2; Worst Hour = Friday from 5:30 – 5:45pm

6. Washington, D.C.: Drivers waste 45 hours in traffic2; Worst Hour = Thursday from 5:45 – 6:00pm

7. Seattle: Drivers waste 33 hours in traffic2; Worst Hour = Thursday from 5:30 – 5:45pm

8. Austin: Drivers waste 30 hours in traffic2; Worst Hour = Thursday from 5:30 – 5:45pm

9. Boston: Drivers waste 35 hours in traffic2; Worst Hour = Thursday from 5:30 – 5:45pm

10. Chicago: Drivers waste 36 hours in traffic2; Worst Hour = Thursday from 5:30 – 5:45pm

But, Austin isn't a big city. Really. The only reason people even know about Austin is University of Texas is downtown.

Pfffffffffffft.
