Crazy with a K

...and the SA-NB MSA comes in at a whopping 36th. How about we put that "7th largest city in the US" shit to bed. There is nothing wrong with being a quaint working-folk city.

Never Mind the 45%

that take home 33% less in real wages than those of a less than comfortable median income household.
