Yodan Rose's North Beach study found high rank-order correlation (Kendall's rho) between different people's diagnoses of good and bad places along streets in North Beach, San Francisco

Empirical evidence that neighborhood quality diagnosis is objective rather than merely a matter of opinion.

Claims (1)

claim

The health or lack of health of various places in a neighborhood, meter by meter, is widely recognized, felt more or less the same by everyone, and is an objective reality — not a matter of opinion
supports
Alexander's assertion that neighborhood quality assessment is objective, supported by Yodan Rose's study.
