Yeah it's a top level comment somewhere in here, but i got it from the fdic website.

Lol tell me you live in Seattle without telling me you live in Seattle

But regulations are part of the market and should be taken into account when making business decisions.

I don't understand the situation but I can say there wasn't room in the market for the venture otherwise it would've worked.

Yeah, Kent, Bellevue, and Seattle are three entirely distinct cities.

Seattle is relatively normal, Bellevue is almost entirely inhabited by millionaires and wealthy Chinese exchange students, and Kent is where you live if Tapout tshirts and monster energy drinks are a daily part of your life.

Or red states have a lot of trade workers. I’d be curious to see the median income for these states as well. Not very smart to get a degree in basket weaving then work at McDonalds when Bobby from the Midwest can make six figures being a welder with no advanced degree.

I guess when you have a ton of people with useless degrees that don’t make any money they’d be more likely to vote Democrat.

Stop saying recession - it is a market readjustment!!!!

There’s nothing beautiful about a really long bar chart.

Yeah, I never took jobs at places with that attitude.

When I interview people now, I always ask how they feel about throwing away code... Because if you aren't throwing away code, you're not learning from your mistakes. You never have perfect knowledge of how shit will be used until its being used.

I imagine Wenatchee and Walla Walla are somewhat skewed from low wage jobs from farming? Maybe? I'm more entertained Kent is grouped with Seattle and Bellevue 🤣

The Seattle to Idaho migration pattern

Yep. A lot of these areas are really second home areas too. Lots of people with money from elsewhere

The market there has nothing to do with how many regulations there are and how much red tape you have to go through to get a bank open... But by all means, keep thinking that you understand the market better than someone who own and runs a financial firm with a multibillion dollar portfolio.

Does this chart have a source from where the data came from?

Salinas california, not as nice as Waikiki.

This was the first time I've ever done something like this. Im proud of it.

The use of metropolitan statistical area leads to some very strange results here.

For the area I'm familiar with here; Trenton-Princeton are two very different worlds. You can find homes, in relatively decent shape, for 100,000USD in Trenton. Why? Because there's a murder like every two weeks around the corner. Princeton, on the other hand, won't even get you a 1/10th acre plot with no house for 100,000USD. Hell, I'd be shocked if you could find the smallest plot in the whole town for under 200k. Average home price in Princeton is like 1.2 million USD. Average price in Trenton is 165k.

Who handles LE in the unincorporated areas? State Troopers?

This is brilliant. Stage 3 rectal cancer survivor here. Would love to pull something together like this for my journey too. If anything to, like you, lay out what a road map could look like in such a clear/concise manner. How does one begin?

‘Not that way’ is always code for ‘Ack! Change?!’

wow that’s beautiful. I’m learning way more fun facts here than usual

That’s part of it. The other part, like a lot of things in Georgia, is politics.

https://cviog.uga.edu/news/061319-counties.html

From the article, “Until 1962, Georgia used the County Unit System to choose many elected officials. The system gave more political muscle to urban counties, so it benefited rural Georgia to create more counties and therefore more muscle.

“Another rural county, that’s two more rural votes there, off-set those interests in Atlanta,” Charles Bullock, Political Science Professor at the University of Georgia explained.

In 1945, the Georgia Constitution capped the number of counties at 159.”
