that's 2.1 million per team. Missouri is at 1.5 million per team after the move.

What's even more insane is if you get blurry with the markets (call the whole bay one market and call Anaheim/LA a market) only the Kings, Padres and Chargers (for now) are outside of LA/SF Bay Area.

LA is poo poo full stop. It has way too many goddamned people and way too many wrong streets to turn down.

It's only redeeming factor is it's so lovely that people don't realize how lovely most of San Francisco is, because "at least it isn't LA."

Hahaha, Bill Bidwill's name is dirt in St. Louis so good luck with that one, and the Rams literally had the worst five-year record in the history of the NFL so yeah, big surprise, attendance wasn't so great in an economically stratified city whose primary loyalties lie with the Cardinals (i.e. the second most successful franchise in U.S. pro sports after the Yankees), but to say they didn't support them is bullshit.

I would like to direct you folks to the people who sat in front of me at Candlestick who drove from Tahoe through San Francisco to get to the 49ers games.

SF to Tahoe is about 4.5 hours without traffic, and probably an hour to get through SF on gameday. 5.5 hours each way.

Never did that but I was doing an inspection in East Palo Alto and I heard gunshots like three houses down. I noped the gently caress outta there pretty goddamn fast. The same day a bored housewife in Los Altos Hills scolded me for running my car for too long.

Our Oakland adjusters regularly get carjacked, like one a year. I mean if you leave your car unlocked and running with you sitting in the passenger seat, what the gently caress else do you think is going to happen?

I miss the smell of my car farts as well

My car is my office. Imagine hours of car farts. All day. Car farts. When my fiancee wants to use my car on the weekends I say I have to clean out papers and stuff but really I'm just airing out the car farts for like 15 minutes.

For what it's worth in my past life when I was a carless person who took the bus to work my commute was pleasant instead of the soul sucking hell hole of rage that encapsulates driving in the bay area.

I read a lot and listened to music. It was pleasant.

Levi's is antiseptic and corporate blandless as gently caress. I hate that dumb piece of poo poo.

Also the turf is awful and people literally die of heat stroke and they won't invest in any sort of over hang for the side of the stadium opposite the glass tower.

Also fun story about that glass tower: you can't even walk past it without a ticket for it or the seats below. There are literally ushers stopping you at the steps. I had to walk the outer edge of the stadium one game in 2014 because I was on one side of it and my buddy was on the other.

I grew up 2 hours away from the Nevada border. When my dad's parents flew in from Ohio we would always go to Tahoe or Reno. When we were in a casino I remarked how big and impressive it was to my mom.

She responded, "they didn't build this with their own money. And they didn't do it out of the goodness of their hearts."
