The per capita factor plays big also.
But ask them. Mercer probably has over 1000 Marinehawk like brainiacs working for them. I'm sure they would know this formula.  |
If you believe in Mercer, I invite you to send one of your children to a public school or hospital in DC or hike them accross much of the city. Though, I really hope you don't for their sake. As far as education, maybe they just mean universities. But that doesn't significantly make life better for non-college students. Unless you like living in a Finnish sauna, the weather here sucks. I guess, when I walk outside in the 93 degree temperatures and 90% humidity, and immediately want to die, I can realize that it is, in reality, very comfortable because the 15,000 Mercer smart dudes know DC weather better them me.
