@atlanticesque I would simply live in a glass cube in DC and not pay for that.

@_contraryan @totally_not_ace @StatisticUrban This is not a common criterion for the American Dream.

@doneandone1 @mattyglesias How does that relate to Sara Gideon in 2020, several years before that was a relevant issue?

@RyanRadia @MariGO2thepolls @sodiumPen I think it’s worth it if you’re making large quantities for workday lunches. Indian holds up very well over the week.

[Patrick Spence @PatrickSpenceDC]

@JHWeissmann I am totally comfortable with using strict percentile terms and classifying two 40-year-old teachers as “upper middle class.”

[Patrick Spence @PatrickSpenceDC]

@dcinsb @IndyyProg @Socdem_Michael Porter/Mahan at 5 is right. Bianco at 12 is right. Do you think Becerra doesn't hit 28? Or Hilton doesn't drop?

[Patrick Spence @PatrickSpenceDC]

@devahaz Seems more likely that Nithya gets through and beats Bass 1:1 then that Steyer gets through and beats Becerra 1:1. Pratt and Hilton obviously can't win the general, so the biggest question here is which is more likely to not end up in the final two.

[Patrick Spence @PatrickSpenceDC]

@aestheticist_ It seems like that's basically not the case when you look at the parts of the world that are developing the fastest. The most "natural" form of development for present-day telecoms + transport is probably something like Saigon.

[Patrick Spence @PatrickSpenceDC]

@Lib_Development I feel like it's underrated for people genuinely interested in cities and the influencer stuff is horribly overrated.

[Patrick Spence @PatrickSpenceDC]

@Lib_Development It admittedly punches below it's weight, but it's size is big enough that it's top 3 easy.

As a tourist, it's great for food (Asian/Mexican, don't waste time on fine dining; hiking; neighborhood exploration; architecture; coastal walks; etc.)

[Patrick Spence @PatrickSpenceDC]

@Lib_Development I think about NY/DC/LA often, SF sometimes, and Chicago/Boston not at all. Maybe you should just go to LA more often?

[Patrick Spence @PatrickSpenceDC]

@srob_ @nikicaga @TrueSlazac The petite couronne kind of is clearly city. It's more like Manhattan taking in the outer boroughs, rather than NYC taking in Long Island/Westchester.

[Patrick Spence @PatrickSpenceDC]

@atlanticesque I guess? On the other hand, it makes it easy to live wherever you actually want to live/work and still visit everyone in your life regularly.

[Patrick Spence @PatrickSpenceDC]

@Cassy_Horton @josh_metcalf Absolutely! Very different resident profiles between South Park and Highland Park. I find the ever-westward-movement of the Eastside very misleading!

There are also probably lots of moderate urbanist DTLA voters who chose Nithya strategically rather than being committed DSA.

[Patrick Spence @PatrickSpenceDC]

@Cassy_Horton @josh_metcalf Sure. It's a very "zoomed out" perspective that doesn't capture the granularity of the >50% of the city's population that's between the 105 and Sunset.

[Patrick Spence @PatrickSpenceDC]

@Cassy_Horton @josh_metcalf Sure, I get it. Even so, Pratt should drop and Raman should grow with late mail. Obviously won't be Silver Lake/Echo Park/Los Feliz margins.

[Patrick Spence @PatrickSpenceDC]

@Cassy_Horton @josh_metcalf Should end up firmly Raman when it's all counted, no? Stays the same with Chinatown included.
