Sonoma County Housing Trends - A Grand Flatness... - 01/19/12 06:33 PM
I have a love hate relationship with charts. I love them...everybody else hates them. Unfortunately, there is no better way to convey a huge amount of information as quickly as you can graphically so I will continue to make occasional charts when the results can illuminate a story.
