If you post that pony one more time I shall----- GRRRRRRR
I don't think you should complain about your streets being unstraight, though, in USA.
Personally I like gay streets. A grid of roads seems boring. These streets can become a traffic mess, though, but if they're planned well they also work well.
Whatever, collective transport and bikes ftw.
Then again... Boston vs. Phoenix on grid street system and I sort of see your point. Kol.
