No, I'm not confused. I am aware of what the U.S. Census defines as the NY Metro area. What I'm saying is that the article (as far as I saw--I may have missed it) doesn't say what its criteria were in stating the NY Metro area. These could have been two different things. It is, of course, possible, but not definite, as far as I can see, that the writer of the article was going off traditional (census) data. Journalists attempt to be as factual as possible, but they do indeed spin, usually to get a better story. Having been a journalist for years, this much I can put forth as fact.

I hate to interrupt, but wasn't this thread supposed to be about why wealthy people like Los Angeles? Maybe we should change the name of the thread to something with New York in the title. Just a thought.

I actually thought the point was originally the opposite. The original complaint was that too MUCH of NY was included, and too LITTLE of LA, and that was apparently why New York was cited as having a higher percentage of millionaires. The original argument was that LA had more millionaires per head, but that too little of Southern California was represented and that was why NY "appeared" to have more. That was actually what I was arguing against.

I do think it was relevant to bring up the subject of other millionaire-rich (har! Get it? Okay, never mind) areas, since the argument was that LA was more desirable than other areas, the apparent evidence being that there are "more" millionaires in LA than other cities (or counties). If that evidence is flawed, certainly it is on-topic.

less millionaires (per capita) ...
Would that confirm that Angelenos 'look' like they have more money than they actually make? |
