  1. Here are the top out and in for Franklin County:
  2. Maybe. It is Census data though so I thought this was an appropriate place. The other thread doesn't get as much action. As for Madison County, it's only a net of 146, so it's like 0.01% of the population of Hamco. Margin of error on that is 67, so it could be as low as 79 or as high as 213. But maybe a large employer moved? Flow between Hamco and Franklin is 2,038 from Ham to Frank, 2070 from Frank to Ham. Net is -32 for Ham, so basically even.
  3. Slightly different discussion direction. Here are the top counties for migration into and out of Hamilton County for the period 2013-2017:
  4. I'm not saying property owners aren't self-interested. I'm saying this particular theory (kill Covington) doesn't make any sense. First of all, downtown business owners have way more sway in Cincinnati zoning decisions (i.e. what happens at the Banks) than they do in regional transportation decisions. Their biggest voice in those decisions is the regional chamber, which 100% supports expanding transit and improving transportation to better connect the two sides of the river. So exactly the opposite of what Jake is claiming. And let's be real. We are wayyyyyy better connected than most bi-state regions. Have you tried to walk or drive from Philadelphia to Camden? Or NYC to Jersey City? Those places have way better transit connections for sure, but for the most part they are woefully under-connected. There are only three vehicular bridges from Manhattan to North Jersey and two from Center City Philly to South Jersey. And all of those are highway bridges. We have five from DT Cincy to NKY! And three of them are surface streets. If you live in Hoboken you cannot walk to Manhattan. But if you live in Newport or Covington you have multiple options to walk to downtown Cincinnati.
  5. You realize it takes exactly 2 minutes to get from 4th and Madison to I-75 now, right? Your theory doesn't even make sense, because DT Covington STILL has good highway access. And there's about to be a HUGE chunk of land ready for redevelopment near I-75. Not to mention all the development that is possible in the fast food district.
  6. And it just so happens Covington has an expressway running right through it. And regional leaders have made it a priority to replace the expressway bridge and add even more capacity. If they were trying to kill the Covington office market that would be a very poor strategy.
  7. That's a great conspiracy theory, but the truth is much simpler. The suspension bridge cannot handle full sized buses, we don't prioritize transit in this region, and we can't afford to replace the Brent Spence Bridge, much less an additional Race-Madison bridge. It has nothing to do with concerns over Covington stealing business from DT Cincinnati.

    She doesn't drive to Dayton every day. She's on channel 12. In Cincinnati. https://local12.com/station/people/clancy-burke-04-22-2019
  9. We do not need a Race-Madison bridge. And it isn't a goal of Cincinnati's "blue bloods" to block one because no one is even proposing one.

    Right. Which makes it less dumb than what we do haha. This is her career. She's a TV personality. I WISH someone would pay me for all the golden nuggets of wisdom I put out there on UrbanOhio.

    Geez guys, what'd she do? Attack your mother? First, she's a local reporter. So this kind of thing is just part of that grind. You have to self promote. Good on her for apparently knowing how to play the game. Second, these kinds of videos may seem dumb to us. But spending a chunk of your day reading/responding to internet message boards might seem pretty useless to her. Yet she's not making Youtube videos blasting us for enjoying it. I just don't understand this desire to hate on people for living their lives differently than I do.

    Are you saying this video reminded you? Or we're supposed to watch the video and guess?
  13. You sign a release. But aside from that, it's on the Lower East Side. No one is driving there.
  14. Right. I just thought it was really funny. It's a cheap gimmick.
  15. Not a lagering cellar but how about an ice cage? I've actually been to this bar, but I did not partake in the ice cage. http://mehanatanyc.com/ice-cage/
  16. Former Philly resident myself ? EDIT TO ADD: The PA in my username stands for Pennsylvania.
  17. We gotta win those elections. Current makeup is 5R-2D but we have a chance to make it 4D-3R in the 2020 election. Dems should do everything possible to get out the vote for these seats. That includes picking candidates with Irish surnames. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/elections/2018/11/09/most-baffling-map-ohios-midterm-election/1931633002/
  18. The downtown signals haven't been re timed in so long it doesn't really matter. They're not efficiently timed as is.
  19. Population density and density of pavement. And the higher value applies. So an industrial park that is 100% paved and takes up an entire tract, but has zero population, would be given a value of 10 and be classified as urban.
  20. Without knowing which east side tracts you're referring to I can guess that maybe they got bumped up to urban based on their pavement cover percentile. The metric looked at both population density and pavement cover, so if it was in the top quarter of all tracts for either it would be classified as urban.
  21. This is based on 2017 ACS data, so you'd need to compare it to 2010.
  22. I do not, but I'll try to find out.
  23. It's 2017 ACS data, but I still wouldn't be surprised if more of Delaware County move into the denser classification by 2020. As for the airports, I would imagine it is because CMH has more paved area so it makes it into the inner ring classification based on its pavement percentile, not population.
  24. Interesting. It looks like the parts of Madison County that are in the watershed are mostly already classified as "outer suburban."
