Not reading that junk, why torture yourself?

Yep. You can can add-on screens for T&T at all the big box stores like Leroy Merlin etc. It did baffle me as American in Spain that the screens weren’t default install (at least at low end). B/c bugs do fly inside at night regardless of geography :)

Not even sure what problem he thinks is 15 yrs out. For plot in his pix, already a popular bus 10 min walk away that gets you to Moncloa interchange in 10 min. Or suburban drivers can do commuter rail @ 5 min away w/ big parking lot, 1 stop to Príncipe Pío transit hub. Sewers can be upgraded. 🤷‍♂️

The 1 line is the oldest so has some gorgeous original station design unfortunately covered up by that aluminum siding. You can see some bits remaining in the entrance down into Tirso de Molina & a few other spots

NYC’s Chelsea Piers has entered the chat

lol, didn’t see it. All the hardcovers are $3 (5 for $10!) or $2 paperback. A few rare books on a special shelf cost more. I have that one, pretty easy to find a cheap copy online (like most everything else at this sale)

Yep I did this exercise in pluto a few yrs ago and came to same conclusion—data isn’t good enough for clear winner. Main takeaway: Bedford is the outlier b/c it *is* rectangular. Most others are the odd triangles, trapezoids: that’s what caused someone optimistically to build even w/ short frontage

Yes I tend to agree. It’d be nice if the next admin takes the oppty to rationalize NYC’s peculiar disconnects across agencies in land and street data. Some historical and legal reasons why the land maps were digitized long before the street maps but this is the time to fix it all.

lol, a digital map ballot proposal is like Halley’s Comet for urban data nerds!
