"I guess I'm not very smart because when I looked these polls my first reaction was: needs a larger sample size. My take is that pattern recognition comes from observing patterns. The micro feeds the macro. You can't derive a macro picture if you're constantly ignoring the micro. Ignorance isn't bliss. What news you track is important. You just need to ignore the noise and look for patterns to form a hypothesis.

"Curious : is there an avg 1bhk rental vs hotel room price ratio for cities Was wondering what such a ratio would convey and who would it be useful for. So asked Claude. Here's what I got: Interesting question Yes such a ratio would exist and would be quite revealing. **What it would convey:** The ratio would essentially measure the "flexibility premium" in different cities - how much more (or less) you pay per day for the freedom to leave anytime versus committing to a lease. A high ratio (expensive hotels relative to rentals) might indicate tourist-heavy cities where transient demand drives"
