Textbooks can be misleading




"Never believe everything you read."

Take the graph above. (from a public finance & econ textbook). This is to show that Washington D. C is more desirable to live because its a moderate climate, and its a trade off that Minneapolis is too cold even though he gets 50k and Phoenix is too low and too hot.

WELL SAM. (Guy in example) Let me tell you something. Phoenix may be "too hot" in the summer, but I have lived through 2 summers in PHX and 1 in D.C. Too HOT is better than 85 and 100% muggy in the Swamp that is D.C. SO that argument is out! Plus Phoenix has great outdoor activities and great getaways.

And Minneapolis. 1st off, 3 out of the 4 seasons are great. You can ski, snowshoe, skate, play hockey in the 4th. If you don't like that you have 10 thousand extra to travel in the winter. Lets not mention the great culture, bike lanes, outdoor activities in the winter spring summer and fall. No name dropping (like in D.C.), little congestion. Bitch Please! Sam you need to get your priorities straight

Funny that you lived in all three cities in that graph.
