Its almost like city planning is super important, and totally underutilized thanks to the inability of politicians to think even a generation ahead.

That’s like the difference between Denver and Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs didn’t actually do any planning for growth, they just let it happen.

Because we want you to know where you’re going

But also, fuck you.

Burned it down once and this still happened:

Oh there are gross but they just don't go more than a few blocks before they are given up on in favor of one at a different angle.

True, there are grids. I especially like the top right here that are just *slightly* off, like the guy who laid it out had a bad compass

Out in the suburbs though, it’s all winding roads. Had a visitor from Detroit come in and get disoriented, he was used to missing a street and taking the next one.  Took the next road and wound up 20 miles from where he needed to be.

Well you are assuming that the roads that look straight actually are straight, which they aren’t. A lot of the roads are like in Marietta to the north where the roads come vaguely close to meeting in intersections.

The reason there are so many grids in many of the suburbs is because the land would have been divided at different times from the larger land holdings of plantations then divided again then divided again. So each new development gets its own grid logic and many of them weren’t well surveyed as to make the streets that were supposed to be straight, straight.

Sometimes I wonder how the Romans could create perfectly straight roads while centuries later with Civil War era technology (considering what was there before was burned) we still couldn’t get a road straight.

Haha, that story is funny. Yeah, that’s not quite how unplanned road systems tend to work.

All I’m seeing is the development of a railroad town vs a non-railroad town. Name one railroad town that was well planned.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the desert 1875

foresight... What a thing.

Whilst the analysis is just, t he fact that Melbourne is built on a large and relatively flat sand plain while Sydney is built on a deeply dissected and partially drowned river valley might have had something to do with it...

Sadly, a grid network around the centre of Sydney was never going to work due to the topography of the area.
