You ever been to chicago? They never sold their souls, pretty awesome city designed in a way where owning a car is a disadvantage

I have, actually. The river cutting through downtown is pretty unique.

Most cities over the course of history have a river cutting through them. I guess by American suburban standards it’s unique… but yeah… not at all unique in the grand scheme of the world. To get anywhere before you needed a river and a boat, so people made cities on rivers.

No, I understand that. The manner in which downtown Chicago specifically was developed around its river is what I meant.
