----------
Meanwhile, the 1st chart show U.S. how much certain cities have fallen
and how LONG they have been falling.
Note that Seattle and Portland are VERY different then Phoenix and Las Vegas.
The 2nd chart shows U.S. how much some have NOT fallen.
Some cities are AT their decade low; however, some are very much not.
----------
The next two charts show U.S. once again how the same data can be displayed very differently.
The 1st is from the LATimes and is a simply bar chart.
The 2nd is from a Seeking Alpha article, and shows how you can use simple numbers, and colored arrows, to show relationships.
