Our favorite numbers geek is moving to NYC. How could Chicago let this happen?
From Nate Silver:
This blog is now on the Eastern Time Zone. I'm moving to New York. My new Congresswoman is Yvette Clarke.I have a great deal of love for Chicago, where I've been for the past 13 years, and the Midwest, where I've been essentially my entire life. In the Internet era, one can cover American politics from almost anywhere: some extremely talented writers do it from places like Brazil and Mexico. Nevertheless, as I've watched the number of 212 and 646 area codes proliferate in my Blackberry (see incredibly dorky chart below), and become intimately familiar with the concession stands at LaGuardia Airport (avoid the Wendy's by Terminal D), I've realized that there's an if-you-can't-beat-'em, join-'em quality to New York City -- and I've decided to join 'em.

For the record, he's my second favorite numbers geek. Setting that aside, what the hell?! What is he thinking???
Well, he'll be back. He's not a New Yorker. The only question is, will we take him back? (Um, yes.)
