In reply to mplsjaromir.

Actually, I've been meaning to point this out- some people seem to have accepted the density of SLP but the fact is the per capita calculation doesn't tip in favor of MPLS no matter what suburb you compare it to. In fact the further out you get the more favorable the cost distribution becomes for the most part.

As for Ham Lake, planners aren't using these calculations to choose routes or destinations, nor should they. I on the other hand am using this calculation to demonstrate that existing density claims in favor of MPLS are not supported by evidence or data.
