So the
New York Times had a bit up back in June that I just now discovered (it takes a while for the mail coach to get from civilized Manhattan to the old Northwest Frontier) in which they
rank the counties of the US in "livability" based on several factors, such as education,
median household income, unemployment rate, disability rate, life
expectancy, obesity, and distance in kilometers from Central Park.
I made that last one up, actually.
You'll note that it's very cultured and
Progressive to say that the best places to live are where there
are high household incomes, good education, and a minimum of obesity and
folks on disability. Conversely, it would be the height of Conservative bigotry to say that you don't want to live around poor fat dumb crippled malingerers.
