I have no idea what the square footage of my house is. Not even a ballpark clue.

[Al B. Sure!]

Really? My girlfriend and I pay $1.55/sq ft/month.

I pay 32 cents per square foot per month

I don't know what Calgary looks like but considering...

Calgary:


Philly:


Yes, you live in the boondocks with open plains and farmland.

Calgary is a physically very large city because we have insane amounts of space available, which means there is less high-density housing and more houses with yards (suburban type environment).

It's under no circumstances "rural".

[dannubis]

Dude. You live in Canada... Rural in this case is not an insult.

What about the square meterage? Square fathomage?

Area this time:

Calgary:

- Metro 5,107.43 km2 (1,972 sq mi)

Philly:

- Metro 11,989 km2 (4,629 sq mi)

Philly metro area has 2.3x the area and 3.25x the population density

And you say you're not rural!

Asher, would you describe your next door neighbor as 'over yonder'?

[Asher]

Are you seriously saying this looks 'rural', Alby?





Just because it's not overcrowded, cramped, and impoverished like Philly doesn't make it rural. I'm not sure you know what the word means.

The reason housing is so cheap in Philly is no one WANTS to live there. They live there if they have to.

That's because you live in a **** neighborhood where nobody with any money wants to live.

[dannubis]

Well interms of suckiness I say you loose.

Are you a ******? A difference of 30% takes you to rural?

I don't care about pictures! I see the statistics! Your city is considerably smaller and less dense.

Explain your math. A difference of 30% in what?

[Asher]

I don't care about pictures! I see the statistics! Your city is considerably smaller and less dense.

So compared to Hong Kong or Tokyo, we can conclusively say Philly is rural.

[KrazyHorse]

Density, ******

[Al B. Sure!]

So compared to Hong Kong or Tokyo, we can conclusively say Philly is rural.

Calgary's pop density is 3500/square mile... Philly's is 11.5K... Tokyo's is 15.1K... there's more distance between Philly and Calgary than Philly and Tokyo
