NYC population density is 27k/sq.mi...8.6 million people in ~300 square miles is a bit much for me and your (Clockguy, Frank) responses rings true. This reminds me of a 30+ car pile up I saw on the 405 in LA I witnessed when visiting relatives in Long Beach...everyone doing 70+ bumper to bumper, all lanes having to Get Somewhere in a hurry...a cluster truck waiting to happen. Fast forward to 2001 Alice Springs AU...population ~25k (density 32/sq.mi.) and seeing indigenous people walking bare foot in town...hobbled like they were trying not to touch the sidewalks and street. I went out to the river in the evening and sat across from a gathering and ended up chatting with an elder and when I ask him about it he said it was because they weren't connected to the earth in town. Perhaps in our hurry to get Somewhere fast we are missing some key points by living in our heads instead of With our bodies.
