Here is a set of (computer-generated) reasons to leave Columbus OH and move to Gilbert AZ instead. In this discussion, some people are pointing out that the generated text for some cities is rather racist (such as the complaint that 0.08% of people in Fort Worth TX speak Japanese, considering that there was a WW2 internment camp only 50km away). But what else could the program do, since it is based on US government statistics? As the program says, "I didn't want to make this about race, but it can't be avoided."
