The Phattest Bubble You've Ever Seen?
Did a little sniffing around ... and uncovered what each of your New York Congressional delegates' homes are worth - as well as the the median value of homes in their districts. Let's just say that some members live a bit phatter than their constituents (hence, the Phat Index, the difference between the two).
Also, for a kick in the ol' transparency ass, I put an asterisks next to each member of Congress who made me work extra hard for their home address. Not that I mind working, but these folks now list themselves at a post office box rather than their home address on FEC filings - thing is, when they first started in Congress that wasn't the case (with the exception of Rep. McHugh who apparently has always been living out of a PO Box). Not nice!

- A handful of the home values listed are the tax assessed values, or averages of the area; simply click on a particular home value to find out.
- District median values brought to you by the good peeps at the Census Bureau
