Having attended architecture school, there were three cities our school took us to up north, and they were Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia. I'm not saying those three have the best architecture, but it is worth noting that an institution continues to send students to those three rather than NYC.

In honesty Jacksonian, do you really think they'd let someone from Mississippi walk around NYC without first trying the starter kit? NYC is pretty big and fairly intimidating. Imagine the insurance premium the school would have to hold if they told the carrier they were sending students from Mississippi to... New York City.
^^Great pictures! They totally demonstrate what I'm talking about. See how much sunlight reaches the streets? That is on purpose. That's why the buildings had to have those set-backs.
No... they're saying that it's good how much sunlight hits the streets of Chicago...
No, I'm saying it's nice how much sunlight hits the streets of Manhattan. Also, it's cool how the buildings in Chicago create an overpowering feel, rising straight up.

Maybe because the NYC streets are too harsh for people who don't wear shoes...
I seriously hope you were joking and don't think that way. If not, then I guess what they say about Yankees may be true.
why is it that you can't actually point to the logical errors or provide any kind of decent counter-argument. I feel my logic is pretty tight on most grounds, and i seldom stray from the argument at hand. Unfortunately, doing so often times includes some actual thought and detail. It's second nature to me by now so it's not nearly as difficult as it might be for you, and i've yet to have any particular problems with people whose judgment i find less questionable. I'd worry more if i knew your background or trusted your rationality. If you can't parse what i've written, then just ask. I'll try to break it down even more for you and in simpler terms.
I did mention the cold war as a factor in why many cities opted to stay with or start subway lines in lieu of other options (if you want to verify this then do look at the histories of many eastern european subways)--
how much if any effect, as i don't consider this to be the main factor, this has depends on the specific city and is one of many possible factors. And herein, as elsewhere in our discussion, lies the basis for what i consider an intelligent discussion: Understanding the details and contexts of a problem. I've presented many arguments and counter-arguments often listing actual examples.
As for your great speeches comment--well, i'm not writing a speech. I think it's slightly closer to a technical document appraising different solutions for a problem. And i'm fairly certain speeches with thousands of words filled with nuances and details can still be great. Actually, i know they can since i've read and heard a few. Of course, there's the slight problem now with people more posturing for the right quip and witticisms rather than going at length and detail. My guess is that a lot of people now would have a hard time paying attention to and processing, let alone just sit without fidgeting, a good detailed speech.
Anyone still wonders why there is no single national newspaper printed in Chicago?
