Sadly this misses many details, Eastern Europe has many socialist workers buildings, with many apartments in one building.

In other regions are more villas because the wealth shifted immensely to the west during the reunion progress.

Many flats are in city districts became speculative assets for the rich. It’s more valuable to create one big Appartement out of two smaller ones.

In general Germany is densely urbanised leaving less room to build new houses with more space and forces companies to build more compact apartments.

It would be great to add the rough estimate of rent per square meter, to get a better view on regional popularity.

Goddamnit zen headbutt…

You can draw any line you want. From something crazy and nonsensical to something that looks nice and smooth like the ones here. The fact that the lines “look” nice means nothing if they are not a realistic representation of the distribution of the data. So, the lines might be pretty but not significant but we can’t tell without a measure

Play enough turm based strategy and know how low a 90% hit chance is.

There are only 26 million Sikhs in the world and 24 million live in India. Yet seems like they are everywhere here in Canada. Perceptions can be very odd.

I'm not concerned with which side you're on. It has no bearing on your terrible logic and wanting to remove all human complexity from analyzing this data.

Not “everyone” obviously. But overall we see bad estimates from humans on average in every category here when pooled together. So yes that is exactly the reason for this. Your “logic” is not only bad it is totally backwards. But I don’t care to speak with you anymore.

The reasons for that phenomenon are not nearly uniform, just like literally anything to do with human nature. You can't use Occam's Razor against human logic, it will never work.

An actual statistician would be painfully aware of this, and not gainsaying people presenting perfectly reasonable explanations that aren't just "everyone is bad at estimates for exactly the same reason".

As many times I asked that of the web ... never got close to an answer. I'll look deeper at your answer but it truly sounds like the real deal ...

Thanks for the input. This has bugged me for years.

It’s complicated and certainly political, especially in the Central Valley where most of the water is used. Crops which are water intensive such as Rice , Cotton and yes Almonds are a huge user of water and building a bunch more little dams are not the answer. I am a 66 year old native and have lived in the Central Valley where some legacy( old timers) ranchers and farmers have almost bulletproof water rights, which means they can choose to grow crops which don’t make since in a semi arid place like California. There is a lot of cattle ranching, in central California and is extremely water intensive as well. Climate change is here to stay and the State is going to have to adapt. It can but will take time and $$

One one simple explanation adequately explains all the results, yes that is best. If the data showed something else and some pieces didn’t fit then yes, other solutions should be sought. Very frequently the most boring answer is the right one, as much as you want to make it be some complicated political thing.

(And for what it’s worth I’m politically on “your side”. The right wing media is poisoning the well regarding trans people and, hey, maybe without that this poll shows 16% estimated instesd of 20% or something. The point is you don’t need that explanation to explain it because every other data point is showing the same misunderstandin)

Media is a big reason for this. You'd think watching US TV that black people are like 70-80% of the population instead of 12%

Lol what? People aren’t good with understanding percentages and what they mean. Yes I will absolutely stand by that

does it matter when the two listed are not addressed?

Data may be beautiful, but this data Is wrong....

Really? A Hyundai? Figured they were more common. But Florida's got that big vehicles craze.

Not to mention several were filled with silt and we’re becoming useless

I moved a lot I’d say growing up to when I was about 21, from a trailer park to apartments and homes, total 6 times. Apartments were generally 900-1100 sqft, trailer if I had to guess was 750 sqft, first house 1400 sqft and my current single family home is 1650.

I have a truck myself. But I have two kids and I my hobby lifestyle requires large cargo storage and hauling capacity with 4x4.

If only you asked the web instead of other idiots like us …. “The term was first used in tennis, and is based on the idea of laying out a tournament ladder by arranging slips of paper with the names of players on them the way seeds or seedlings are arranged in a garden: smaller plants up front, larger ones behind.”

>I said they're both the reason why Americans think queer population is larger than it actually is. Didn't say anything about whether good or bad they are.

I think that was my whole point. Implying these behaviors are "the same" is shortsighted bordering on deceptive. Obviously in a vacuum, if every ensemble television or movie cast tics every representational diversity box, you're not going to have anything resembling a literal representational cross-section of broader society. I doubt seriously it causes as much overestimation as a 24 hour news cycle that hypes the same aspects of representational diversity as inimical to and actively conquering broader society.

All that aside the fact that one of these groups is regularly doing stochastic terrorism on live television, and it's not actually the kids from Euphoria.

Play enough rpg and you know exactly how much a 3% buff is

I said they're both the reason why Americans think queer population is larger than it actually is. Didn't say anything about whether good or bad they are.

I know being an extremist (far left or right) helps people feel a sense of community and belonging but I don't think it's worth of a trade off it to shut off your brain and live in an eco chamber all your life attacking whoever doesn't fully agree with you.

I agree that LGBTQ+ and even racial minorities are perceptually over represented in media. I think folks in less urban areas see the media that takes place in more densely populated places and so they feel it’s all in their face. I don’t have data to prove out whether this is actually real, but I believe the perception is absolutely true and I do this media shaped that in a significant way. I’ve been downvoted for saying this before but I don’t think it’s controversial.

Probably the same people who think there are >90M people in NYC.
