It's not because it removes subjectivity out of the equation. You might put a lot of value into living by a train station and stores but someone else might but a lot of value into having space and a garden. You can't factor the benefits of these things because the value of them is subjective.
- mint2 4y agoExactly, cities can’t be treated like interchangeable commodities. The list that simply compares price and nothing. Why is anyone drinking Napa wine or craft coffee rather than gallon jug wine and Folgers? Would it make sense to create a list of wine where the sole criteria is price? Tastes like hangovers and burning but $25 buys five gallons, while this tasty wine only gets a bottle! Adding location into it, only gets two glasses for the tasty wine at a bar. so might as well stay home and drink a gallon of hangover on a couch. By using a ranking that ignores anything hard to price, it’s the highest ranked choice!
- xboxnolifes 4y agoThe most important thing in analysis isn't to be objective. That's the second most important thing. The most important thing is to make sure you're measuring something meaningful. If something is difficult (or impossible) to measure, just grabbing the nearby easy to measure things doesn't suddenly make it meaningful analysis. Removing subjectivity isn't the goal. Providing insight is. And this isn't providing much insight.
