the lack of standardization on map magnification is part of the reason why we don’t understand sprawl
->
urban planning
if we had to explicitly choose different map sizes when looking at different places it might be easier to see just how inefficiently some places are laid out compared to others
another way to see this is by checking walk times between places
I can cross from one side of the mission to another in 45 minutes
It takes me 45 minutes to walk to the nearest good taco spot from a hotel in Anaheim
