Very sad.
I hadn't thought of it that way, but I imagine that happens as well.
Either way, anyone getting a "raging hard-on" from a city data poll should probable consider a Tinder account.

Lol you’d be surprised. Too many people seem to obtain self-gratification from this website. You’ll find them bashing any city that isn’t theirs or poses a threat, criticizing every poster that disagrees with their opinion about their favorite city, and religiously defending their favorite city against supposed naysayers until climax.

Oh, oh yeah. I'm getting a raging clue over here

But seriously, I have never been to Jacksonville. Can you explain why they are so different? They are both on the coast, plenty of outdoor things to do, close in population and passionate on sports. Other than being a big tech hub, what sets Seattle apart?

Another person said Mobile would be a better comparison. Does Mobile even have a sports scene?

They are not close in population. 4 Million v 1.5 Million. That would be the significant factor that affects most of the categories. Mobile is not a good comparison either, but I would think that poster's point was that even Mobile would be a better comparison. And maybe so.

Jacksonville is worlds different from Seattle.

For one thing, Jax is as close to any major city in FL gets to being conservative, while Seattle is very liberal and progressive. Seattle is fast-paced, Jacksonville is slower. Jax is more a military hub, Seattle is a tech hub. Seattle is a huge city, Jacksonville is a huge town. Seattle is a top city in the US based on a variety of elements, like tech and innovation, economic output, information, and others, and Jacksonville is probably the 4th or 5th most important city in the state.

Jax is a cool town so I don’t mean to belittle it but it’s simply not on Seattle’s level. I feel a better comparison would be Oklahoma City or San Antonio.

And I'd argue that Seattle weather is superior to Jax's. Ever been to these cities in the summer? No comparison.

Isn't JAX one of the cheapest large cities? I've never been to either city but I'd choose JAX 9/10 over Seattle.
