Seattle has a poverty rate of 13% vs 40% here

Will someone explain to me why poor areas have to look the way they do

Tfw never have to worry in my 99.17% white village

@Jacob look familiar?

“I’m poor therefore I can’t not throw old furniture out in my lawn”

@Auf WI No, scroll up and look at the difference in median household income. It's still way higher in Seattle.

Is there a worse look than a dirty, chipped, white plastic chair in your lawn?

@ophiuchus Perhaps they are poor because they don't take pride in those types of things.

@Flint Yes, except Seattle doesn't have trains

@godric it's in the backyard its fine

@ophiuchus become who you are

Time to have an old couch on the porch

Seattle vs where I live

@Auf WI who would even sit in such an abomination though? I dont need to absorb BPAs through my glutes

If I could I’d pass an ordinance that makes having your house look like complete ass for a span of one year a misdemeanor

Household income in Seattle is higher now than that chart shows, probably because of all the technology companies. That's why the number I posted earlier was different.

Gotta watch the venison on the grill

@godric Just what the Chinese intended

Anyway, despite all this, Seattle is gross, while my town is pretty great

oooh it'd be interesting to compare Spokane to this

concerning degrading housing:I think that's the point of an HOA, but something tells me an HOA would be meeting would be deadly in the ghetto

@Axel I consider anything that inhibits the gloriousness of my glutes to be an act of war

A crime of war

there is almost zero Eastern Europeans here

All in all income doesnt matter though, when you consider living costs. I can afford housing here easily but if I were in, say, Seattle, I would not be in a good position

I added Spokane to the comparison, check it out @ophiuchus

First collumn is Spokane, second is Seattle, third is where I live

@godric I guess skinny jeans are a hate crime then 😂

There are a bunch of Ukrainians in Alberta for some reason, afaik that’s the only strong Eastern European northwest area

There's a site I posted yesterday when we were talking about grocery bills

expatistan

it tells you relative cost of cities

@Jacob seems about right

@Asatru Artist - MD I grew up around a decent amount of Ukrainians when I lived in Western Washington. I heard there's some Slavs in Spokane, too. But my particular town has almost none.

This is one of the only states that taxes groceries

Big gay

@Axel flaunt not your ignorance child. There is no point to having a butt that people can't see.

@Asatru Artist - MD there’s not a ton of work over there

@Asatru Artist - MD It's a rural college town

I just want to move to a moderately wealthy town in New Hampshire or something

This is a map of "Polish-Americans". Not very many anywhere in Washington. @Asatru Artist - MD
