The "tiny" store

I find myself fortunate to live 13 miles from a town of about 30,000, with a few larger towns within 45-90 minutes drive. However, if I ever feel like pounding my head with real crowds and all the irritation that brings, I have the Bay Area 3+ hours to the North, and the insufferable L.A. Basin 4+ hours to the South. Then there's the Northeast Corridor. I live 22 miles from a town with a population of 1.2 million, 12 miles from a town with a population of 700,000, 2.5 hours from New York City population 20 million, and 1.5 hours from Boston, population 4.5 million, and then closer than either are New Haven population 800,000, Providence population 1.6 million, Worcester population 1 million, and on it goes. Each of us has our own preference of where to live. Personally, I enjoy living in a less densely populated area without feeling in anyway deprived. I have lived in a few major metropolitan areas, including back East and enjoyed some aspects of that, if only the people weren't there. Even when I lived back East, I preferred the time I lived up in the Adirondacks near Inlet, NY (that was in 1973) to living in the city. I have lived in San Luis Obispo County, with a population of 270,000 since 1986. That is in California, a State of 39 million, most packed into the major metropolitan areas of the Bay Area, SoCal, and Sacramento. I prefer to have an uncrowded Pacific coast, Big Sur, and the National parks of the Sierras close at hand, and still not lack for anything. Occasionally I get up to the Bay Area, and less occasionally (the last time 5 years ago) I find myself in L.A. and its surrounds. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Sandman: That was my entire post, was it? Why do you want the entire post ? Does it change what you've said. Indeed it does. The post contained the number "20", but that wasn't the total number of cameras in the store I counted. Just read the post again, and you'll see. You saiud you're rounding you estimate up to 20. why do we need to go back in time to see what you said before ? Not back in time, back to that post. 20 was just *a* number, not the *only* number. Read the post again and you'll see (??). Sandman: (see, I can cut away huge parts of your post as well and pretend you said something else) I don;t need to do that. So why did you do it? Sandman: What is wrong with you? When did I refer to Cyberphoto as a tiny store? Well? Whisky-dave: So you must have some predefined criteria for saying the word tiny. Sandman: Which isn't based in an actual number. So how do you base such a thing on colour temperature ? No. I've already said that it is a combination of both number of cameras and physical size of the camera department (if it's part of a larger store) or the store (if it's a camera store). And no, I don't have a pre-set list of numbers of cameras that correlate to relative sizes. Sorry. Whisky-dave: I don't see a great deal of differnce in size between park cameras and cyberphoto from the pictures. Sandman: I never said there was, so I have no idea why you're making a note of that. You said cycperphoto were small or tiny and park cameras were huge. No I did not. -- Sandman[.net] |

Thanks for your input. The CIA Fact Book (MC 19 million) and other statistics can give you all sorts of number but the fact is that Mexico City is a borderless megapolis that makes London with it's (according to Dave, Britt I assume) 10 million look tiny compared to it. Again you have to compare "city", "urban", "metro" and not the urban of one against city of the other. There's no doubt MC is significantly larger in population. -- "Big data can reduce anything to a single number, but you shouldn’t be fooled by the appearance of exactitude." -Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis, NYT, 2014.04.07 |

Have a play here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%27s_largest_cities Urban area London 3rd MC 18th I believe that you should reread & reinterpret the table you provided with regard to *Urban area*. I read Urban Area for the two cities in question as follows, particularly with reference to the link provided in your Wikipedia source above: From the above table: London - by population 29th; & UN Agglomeration 30th Mexico City - by population 10th; & UN Agglomeration 3rd Detail from the UN column: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ited _Nations) London - 29th, pop: 8,923,000, Met. area: 1,610 Km² Mexico City - 4th, pop: 20,142,000, Met. area: 7,815 Km² Major Agglomerations of the World 10th Mexico city 22.2 million Area: 7,854 km² - Density: 2,826.6 inh./ km² 22nd London with 14 million Area: 5,137.86 km² - Density: 2,724.9 in h./km² so not that differnt in terms of density. -- Regards, Savageduck |
