*skipped to 24. Still don't know why.

*Those who do not get DUIs because they don't own a car will not be in the denominator of those requesting insurance quotes. I'll admit that it's somewhat unclear whether they did DUIs/total population or DUIs/number of quotes, but it sounds like the latter to me, which does not include a large number of people without DUIs in the denominator.

(No data was available for Massachusetts.) We then looked at people in those cities who requested car insurance quotes at Insurance.com and CarInsurance.com, and calculated the percentage of people in each city who reported having at least one alcohol-related violation."

1. There are 285 cities with populations of at least 100,000.

2. There are about 10 cities with rail transit in the United States. Of those 10 cities, four of them (New York, Chicago, Philly, and San Francisco) are in the top 17 cities (of 285) for DUI.

Yet, we have a typical Seattle "progressive" telling the lie that having transit decreases DUIs, when the data show that exactly the opposite is true. You people are just pathetic.

"Three of the nation's top five locations for big-city DUI citations are in California, according to Insurance.com data on DUI citations in 20 of the nation's largest U.S. cities for Nov. 1, 2010, to Oct. 31, 2011."

Your reading comprehension needs serious work, man. They are only focusing on the biggest cities, not every city in the whole damn country.

And then there's this:

"A city may rank near the top of the DUI citation list for a number of reasons, including a lack of public transportation, or a police force that's good at doings its job – or both."

They support my argument verbatim right there in the goddamn article!

I hope Santa got you a new brain for Christmas.

Second, while anybody who drinks can make the mistake of driving drunk, it is nevertheless something that is not to be tolerated, particularly when those who are guilty of it are moral absolutists like this Crapo a-hole.

Noted.
Posted by You_Gotta_Be_Kidding_Me]]> Tue, 25 Dec 2012 03:11:38 -0800 The Stranger DUI per-capita city rankings, and New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia are in the top 20.

But hey, what Seattle "progressive" ever let any facts get in the way of a good old-fashioned baldfaced lie?

It's also why the access and ease of public transit is such a principal factor in DUI rates per capita.
