I may remember incorrectly, but NY was only 'able' to build in a grid by displacing a lot of residents and tearing it all down to start from scratch
Some democracy their city is if they actively sought out the world's most frustrating city design at such civilian expense (and with it not being free).
I'm honestly not that stupid but it kinda seems like that would be the least frustrating layout.
All the streets in NYC are numbered, none are known by any name. After a while that begins to feel tedious.
Numbered streets are great.
I'm glad someone likes them I guess.
Hi. I grew up in a city with named streets. One street can have four names depending on where you're at on it. You've never had to deal with directing someone down a city full of that, apparently.
On the other hand, we have an area with lettered streets. L comes before M, N, O, P, etc. If you're on F and need to get to C Street, you know you need to go up 3 blocks. Meanwhile, if you're on Johnson and need to get to North York, you have to know that it's the same street and changes names in 7 blocks.
