daniel sinker: I'm starting to think Lego is evil → sinker.tumblr.com

sinker:

Well, maybe not evil, but “highly problematic.”

First, let’s remove what we all *think* Lego is (i.e. our own nostalgic memories, our aspirational beliefs, or $250 robot sets), and instead concentrate on what Lego today is, for the most part: It’s movie-tie-in model sets marketed pretty much…

Population of Inhabitants of the Focal Point of the San Francisco Bay Area

SF is believed to have the highest proportion of homeless people of any large U. S city. Homelessness has been a chronic and controversial issue for San Francisco since the early 1980s. The finance center of the SF Bay Area’s poverty rates are below the country wide average. The overall and family poverty rates stands at 11.8% and 7.4%, respectively. The unemployment rate was 9.5% as of January 2011. The social center of the San Francisco Bay Area is definitely the traditional center pointof the San Francisco Bay Area and forms the main San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont Metropolitan Statistical Area along with the greater San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland Combined Statistical Area (CSA) with more than seven million, making it the 5th largest in the United States as of the 2000 Census. The United States Census of 2010 reported that my city had a population of 805,235. The population density was 3,472.5 people per square mile (1,340.7/square km). The Census claimed that 780,971 people (97.0% of the population) lived|resided) in households, 18,902 (2.3%) lived in non-institutionalized group quarters, in addition to 5,362 (0.7%) were institutionalized. Independently, the California Department of Finance estimated the population of My favorite city at 856,095, as of January 1, 2010. Along with over seventeen thousandpeople per square mile, the transportation center of the SF Bay Area is the second-most densely populated major American city. Of all major cities, the world-famous S F ranks second behind Seattle for the percentage of residents possessing at least one college degree. Over 44% of adults residing within the finance center of the SF Bay Area possess a bachelor’s or higher degree. USA Today reported that Rob Pitingolo, a researcher who measured university graduates per square mile, found that the transportation center of the San Francisco Bay Area had the greatest rate at 7,031 per square mile, or exceeding 344,000 total college/university graduates in the Gold Rush City. The world-famous San Francisco ranks 3rd of US cities in median household income. The 2007 value was $65, 519. Median family income was $81,136. My city ranks 8th of large cities globally in the number of billionaires known to be living within city limits. Following a national phenomena, an emigration of middle class families is resulting in widening income disparity and has left the city with 14.5% children, a lesser percentage than any other large U. S. city.
