Tulsa, OK is a trip. Perfect square mile grids for most of the city. Looks like a chessboard flying in at night.

Until you get out to the burbs, the streets are names crossed by numbers, everything regular… I used to navigate the whole town with one page from the phone book. Even when you get into numbers crossed by numbers, it still makes sense.

I’m surprised New Orleans has any NSEW streets considering we say “towards the river” or “towards the lake” and the “West Bank” is actually east of much of the “East Bank” because of how the Mississippi turns.

I knew Boston would be a mess, but Charlotte, you okay there??

I can’t function in a city with more than 20% of the roads being outside of the majority.

Fuck Boston (lack of) city planners, and apparently I need to avoid Charlotte like the plague of disease that must’ve been occurring when they “laid out” that city.

Which direction do your streets point on a compass?

Sao Paulo: yes.

The part that really pisses me off in America at least, is that once you get outside the nice ordered grids of the city, you start getting into subdivisions. They start having all of these curved nonsense roads instead of again, nice straight grid lines. I understand that sometimes you have to divert around a natural feature, but that doesn’t excuse them deliberately making neighborhoods all twisty and grounded off so that it’s easy to get lost in there. Stick to the grid system. And if any European complains about it, remind them that [insert rival European country] is better than their own country.

Are these taken from city center? I feel like San Francisco has much more north to south road than East to West.

Berlin’s network shape is unfortunately reminiscent of a swastika…
