Strange CBS Marketwatch article about Danville (San Francisco, Oakland: 2013, wealthy, suburb)

[18Montclair]

Small but strange.
If you're from Danville -- or from Danville -- you're not rich - The Tell - MarketWatch

This article had absolutely no point to it and made no sense to me. You owe me 10 seconds of my life back Monty for posting this

I know right?

Like, why?

The journalist must have been cut off on the freeway by someone from Danville

So the article clearly states it is not talking about Danville, Ca.

"What’s a bit odd are metropolitan areas 365 and 366 – both are named Danville, one in Virginia and one in Illinois, registering at just 1.1%. The data does not include a break-out for a wealthy Bay Area suburb also called Danville, which is counted as part of the much larger San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont MSA."

I suspect the op just didn't see this part?

okay, but the article still has no point and isnt about anything. Pretty sure the OP saw that part as its not a very long article.

Sounds to me like someone had a deadline and NO ideas.... and that piece of fluff was all he could come up with.

Yeah, this is just a fluff article. Great! There are two cities called Danville which are in the 300s when it comes to who well off its residents are, but okay, that doesn't include the city of Danville in the SF Bay Area.

Yawn. I want my 10 seconds back too.

It's not even a fluff article. Author was high and noticed that there were two Danvilles that were both poor after going to get a box of Cheez-itz in the middle of an article about the richest metro areas. After consuming said Cheez-itz the author was thirsty and went to get some soda. Upon coming back with soda he found a way to tie in the top 3 metro areas and Danville and Danville in an astounding realization that only someone high would ever make. Thus you have the article.
