This collaborative mapping project is amazing data viz -- my favorite part is how they how the "data" (the polygons drawn by each respondent) and the "summary" (what most ppl call a neighborhood) together. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Now out in QJPS: we find locally set minimum wages are responsive to public preferences but overshoot them and are too high in many places. But, minimum wages in states with preemption are too low. For details of our city-level minimum wage estimates, check out www.nowpublishers.com/article/Deta...
