Seemed cool until you look into the details - they gathered the data by asking residents if they lived in a "urban, suburban or rural" area.

How many people who live within a city's limits are really going to say they live in the suburbs?

If I wanted to eat at a highly-acclaimed restaurant and was given the option of either waiting three months or paying some fee of $X to guarantee a reservation tonight, then there are some non-zero values of X in which I would gladly pay.

I imagine at some point we will see this happen, as society stratifies even further. You can already pay to skip lines at places like Disney.
