The connection between gender, gentrification, and household size

I've in the past been downvoted for suggesting that counting the number of attractive women you see walking down the street would give you the best single metric for measuring the vibrancy of a neighbourhood. Now that I've got some data to back up the claim, I would probably still get downvoted for suggesting as much.

Please don't break the site guidelines, which ask you not to go on about downvoting. Especially please don't do downvote-baiting.

Ok. FYI the site guidelines say nothing about downvotes. I had never heard the term 'downvote-baiting' before, and when I looked it up, the top result was you in some other thread on HN.

The guidelines might might specifically forbid talking about downvotes, but they do forbid talking about votes in general.

As Buge pointed out, we generalized it. Older versions of the guidelines contained those rules more specifically—see the bottom of https://web.archive.org/web/20120321171757/http://ycombinato....

Since there were other ways users were taking threads off topic by complaining about voting, we decided to just make it shorter and ask not to do any of that.

The article doesn't really say anything about attractiveness. Maybe you should adjust your metric to single-looking working age women.

What—other than not wearing a wedding ring—makes a woman “single-looking”?

Not walking next to a man about her age or kids.
