Is that your guess, or is there a specific source that says that?
Charlotte laughs at that.
Probably wouldn’t be so bad if they actually built the fucking light rail.
you take your half-built light rail that exists to ferry people into Tepper's stadium and you'll like it!
She's stuck in irregularly shaped traffic.
The city that's the least linear. Charlotte is a constant log jam because for major metropolis cities you do actually want a directional grid specifically for making the city easy to navigate with multiple outlets for traffic to flow in the event of a conflict (break down, accident, road work, etc). A city that doesn't prioritize navigability will be filled with culs-de-sac which are horrible for traffic and navigability
São Paulo city is a messy case. It started out roughly circular, then that circle was distorted into a grid plan, then that grid plan was tied to a bunch of mismatching grids. Picture related:
As such it's hard to reach any conclusion taking its general layout into account.
