  1. Yeah i understand that. But the less turns people have to take the faster they start driving which increases the likelihood of a crash. More turns means cars have to slow down more often wich decreases the likelihood of a crash. I get it you love driving cars and taking more turns seems like more of a chore. But i asume taking more turns wont kill you and is far better than having a higher risk of getting into a crash.

  2. It feels like everything about the 21st century is too simple and boring. I mean we always like to brag about how advanced we've become and how smart we are yet we use the most simple designs in architecture, city planning, etc. If we really are that smart then i asume we are able to design far more unique and efficient city planning designs than just some simple grids that even a kid could draw.

  3. Just because a few people dont like paths doesnt mean we should just not build them. Its not like the empty space where paths would have been built is gonna be used for something more important. Paths are pretty narrow so as long as infrastructure isnt destroyed to make way for them there is pretty much no reason to oppose their construction. But the crazy thing is there still are people who oppose them like their life depended on it. Nimbys are a totally different species. Maybe they dont like looking at them because they get reminded how lazy and unhealthy they've become. I guarantee walking or cycling would solve a majority of Americas obesity and health problems.

  4. Putting all the important city services like police stations, fire stations, hospitals, etc. in the middle would be very practical since all the services could very easily access any part of the city since they only have to take one main radiating road. Compared to grid cities where they have to take all sorts of different streets and turns circular cities would be much more practical.
