you are pathetic

There are no women here. Rural India has a better gender ratio than Sillicon Valley.

NYC is much cheaper than SF and much more pleasant to live in than vast majority of cities in the US. You wouldn't convince me to live anywhere on the west. I would rather make 2x less money in NYC than live in some tract suburb with identical housing, identical shops and identical people. Been there, done that.

build more housing!!!

That's great but you assume that there is a choice. I want to live in a nice city, but I can't. Trillions of dollars, decades of government policies and dozen of agencies with their "homeownership" programs destroyed our cities and permanently put them at a disadvantage. My city alone lost almost 1 million people so far, where blocks with only 2 or 3 houses left standing are plentiful(this isn't even Detroit!) yet the surrounding suburbs are thriving. This didn't happen out of choice. If people like you paid the full price of suburbia or if the situation was reversed and government rewarded city living instead of suburban living then your lifestyle would change really fast.

^ this. The amount of "ultra-luxury" towers going on in my city is way too high. Who the fuck has $800,000 cash? Numbers don't add up.

>> I can't see the use case for a car. I live in the Plateau Mont-Royal neighborhood of montreal. Everything I need is literally a five minute walk away in any direction. A bike gets me downtown about as fast as a car does in summer, the metro can often cross town faster, and taxis are a minute's call away. You can pay for a lot of taxis with the money saved not buying a car.

Congrats you're in the top 0.01% of US/Canada.

This and schools. There are no non-racist solutions to this.

I don't believe that site is even using census data or at least not in the correct way. Ratio should be separated by age groups. Counting > 60 yr olds is a mistake because at that point women outnumber men 3:1 at least.

San Jose has been forever in the headlines as one of the worst cities for men to date, how is this news to you just now? http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/weird/San-Jose-Looking-More-L...

San Jose

>> The U.S. Department of the Obvious finds that there are 117 men for every 100 women in the age range of 20 to 44 years old.

>> Mountain View has a ratio of 125 to 100.

not even close to accurate and I was talking about silicon valley in general.

>> It's not like Boston or NYC are significantly cheaper than the valley.

Yes they are plus some of us really don't want to live in a place with a 3:1 gender ratio.
