I'll preface this post with the following, all 100% accurate: I, slothman8888, am not affiliated, associated, paid by or contracted to the Towns campaign or any firm attached to the campaign. I say that because I know I'm going to be accused of being a hired shill for writing what I'm about to write. But now, before God, my conscience is clean. So, onto the spectacle...

As everyone in the R8NY community knows, I'm not big fan of Kevin Powell. Hell, I'm not even a small fan. I'm simply a registered voter with the BK 10th's interests at heart, and I personally believe Powell is bad for the district.


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!

Note:

  • Home values brought to you by Zillow
  • Co-opsters' home values are harder to uncover; hence the plethora of N/As (I'm accepting help from anyone who has access to comparables)
  • 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
