“… Avoid the trap of doing something. Locking in losses usually means missing the ensuing gains, too. Stay focused on your goals, maintain your disciplined approach, and enjoy the long-term benefits of a diversified portfolio.”
How to create a shapefile with median age of buildings by block. Data is from NYSGIS which has been loaded into Postgres database.
library(RPostgreSQL)
library(tidyverse)
library(sf)
library(tigris)rm(list=ls())
con <- DBI::dbConnect(RPostgres::Postgres(), dbname=’gis’, host=’localhost’,
port=5432, user=’postgres’, password=’XXXXXXXX’)bb <- blocks(‘ny’) %>% st_transform(26918)
str_c(“select yr_blt, st_transform(shape, 26918) as geom FROM nytax_ctr_pt WHERE yr_blt>0”) -> sql
yrblt <- st_read(con, query=sql)
bb %>%
st_intersection(yrblt) %>%
st_drop_geometry() %>%
group_by(GEOID20) %>%
summarize(blockyr = median(yr_blt)) %>%
inner_join(mb, bb) %>%

Pennsylvania is dotted with many incredibly historic spots, and there are even a fair number of abandoned places in PA that you can explore. However, few know that the state was home to several now abandoned World War 2 POW camps.
