I’m glad others have had similar thoughts; when I saw the title my initial question was “this is the supply, what is the demand?”

Might be more interesting to visualize this by county instead of state if the data is available.

Aren't most of the building permits in Florida from hurricane damage?

Mind you, this happens in a vast country that has more than enough room to build a home for every individual citizen and it wouldn't even look crammed.

If every human on the planet got 100m^(2) of space, which is more than ample for anyone, with at most requiring two story buildings, the state of Texas alone would be enough to house all of humanity.

Refusing a building permit, in a state like Alaska is insanity.

I also look at the wild changes from Weeks 2 to 4 as an indication that preseason and even early season rankings are dumb.

It's not fixed because you're still doing per Capita and not per application...

Yep, but my point stands. You can't tell me there are zero favorited works for pairing Harry with Hermione, Ron, Neville, or Luna while the count for Peeves is n i n e t y - s e v e n

Per capita isn't the right approach. Little kids aren't in the market for a new home. Either use households or the adult population.

The quote in the subtitle is misleading, as it implies that NIMByism is why the number of permits are what they are. Based on the HOUST data in FRED, the growth in housing starts post-2008 crisis has been strong.

Growth rates would have made more sense.

Yeah exactly, they’re basically allowed to break EU tax laws. Has worked wonders though, went to Dublin recently and lots of investment and new companies setting up there.

I bet that would align with population increases in those green states.

This is a reupload to fix the post title.

Damn bro "your are so dense" pretty rough fuckin up like that when you're insulting someone's intelligence haha

Which software you used for this sir ?

Wanted to say the same. Yelp is pretty uncommon in Germany, for example, and far from being representative. I'm sure a city like Berlin would feature somewhere in this diagram if yelp were a good data source for an international comparison.

The general idea is cool, but the data source is too weak for a meaningful result outside the US.

There's a large evangelical Christian population who believe if things get bad enough then Jesus will be forced to come back and take them all to Heaven, which is all they really want. Maybe it's those folks?

I think this is looking at all relationships, not only sexual ones. There's no way there is that many people writing father son incest with Harry and his son, on fanfiction.net. Ao3, maybe.

The data reflects favourited works rather than the quantity of works, which I agree is a bit of an unusual metric for the graphs question.

I wonder if data taken from other sites (such as ao3) would produce similar or different results for numbers of works tagged. Ffnet doesn't have the most useful pairing tags.

I don't think this necessarily means the most shipped with either. I looked out of interest and found 198 pages of works for harry/voldemort so that's a) a very high amount of favourites for a smaller number of works but b) a much smaller number of works published total than say Harry/Herminione (2.2k pages) or Draco (3.6k pages).

e: I was curious so looking at ff.net filtered to [Harry P/Hermione G.] has a total 12000~ favourites shown on one page of fanfiction alone. The data here is definitely a bit wonky.

I’m from the Netherlands and I’m not surprised by the negative opinion. We are dealing with loads of crises at the same time at the moment (housing shortage, shortage of workers, nitrogen crisis, growing expenses for health care, energy crisis, problems related to climate change, angry farmers, etc.). I have a feeling many of these could have been avoided if the government had been more proactive over the last 20 years instead of (seemingly) turning a blind and hoping things will get solved by themselves.

Thanks. I guess, you meant x axis? Grey background is just aesthetics, but it does help to read very light colors.

The US is on a lot better track than a lot of the world TBH. Maybe not the "right" track, but a lot better than Europe and much of Asia.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a Data Visualization course to take online?

Funny that the Nordic countries don't have a higher positive portion. Everyone else seems to think they are the best.

Who TF thinks the US is on the right track
