    Gotta say, thats pretty weird. Especially considering Arlington, Va, according to the wikipedia article I read… isnt even a city. I think most people would just lump it in with DC.

    Which is the real bias in this list - what the left hand list is saying in many cases is “here are the cities where we have most effectively excluded poor people from census data”. SF is full of rich tech bros. But the greater Bay Area has a lot more poorer people who will be in poor health.

      I think a big factor for both columns is public transit.

      Effective public transit will have people doing more walking and will result in cleaner air.

      I mean I know chicago is not that case. My first thought is I can’t believe it knowing the food love in these places.
