That's crazy, unless the count of houses has increased tremendously since the 80's (it may have).
Seeing a distribution would help. Also seeing the definitions.
Then I've also seen a house double in size when you add heat to a basement and proper egress. Lots of houses built in the 50's/60's can double legal size this way, without altering the footprint. You can get 3000 sq ft on a typical suburban 1/3 acre lot doing this.
Yep, let's look at median size, or how many people live in apartments/condo/townhouse, etc.
Shoe making?
Yea, tough business that frankly was killed by the early 1970's.
Not to criticise (I don't know what they tried to do) but for decades I've wondered how any cobbler stayed in business.
I get my boots fixed about once every five years - that's not much business.
Seems since the 70's (and then with the advent of Amazon in the late 90's), looking for a new niche for custom shoes would've been the only way to continue.
Perhaps a combination of on-line ordering for a seriously custom experience (high end, super niche, but you'd need to have built up to having name recognition) and local service that's in a unique situation with so e kind of boutique experience.
Just random thoughts, wish they could've made some kind of transition like that.
Top freezer sucks.
"Oh no, there's NATURE in our park!"
Ffs, city dwellers.
Lol, quoting LBJ about racism...what a racist bastard.
At a time when 80% of Republicans in congress voted for the civil rights acts, and only 40% of Democrats did.
And LBJ only signed them because he was backed into a corner.
"Reverse racism" is never correct. Racism isn't one-way.
Oh, that stuff is out there somewhere... in a database
Network Effect.
Road designers understood this, probably as far back as the Romans.
"Build it and they will come". Whenever any network is expanded, it will have increased traffic.
Yep, I find booting from off is as fast (and maybe faster) than coming out of hibernation these days. It's definitely more fluid.
My SMB IT friends disable hibernation when they deploy laptops. Users don't reboot enough as it is, hibernation can be problematic, and wastes hard drive space (at least 16 gig, because they don't spec any less)
Disable auto updates.
Damn auto updates being on by default is a terrible design choice.
I've never had a Windows pc get slow after 6 months... Unless I've beat the snot out of it as I just don't care. But I'm an Admin, user boxes don't usually have such an issue. I have a 10 year old Windows 7 box that's as fast as it was 10 years ago.
But... If you install/uninstall a lot of stuff, over time that can cause issues (because Uninstallers are notoriously lazily compiled - I say this as an app packager of 20+ years.)
I used to say Windows Reg cleaners are snake oil, but on some systems it can really help with the uninstall issue - lots of crap, especially stuff related to context menus, can really slow it down. The only one I've ever recommended is Crap Cleaner - I've seen it revive a test machine that had gotten slow from a billion installs/uninstalls, testing lots of iffy software, etc.
Thanks for the links, now I'll be down the rabbit hole in excel!
Yea, I've seen a LOT of properties bought for the full price just to raze it and build new.
Interesting stuff.
