I wouldn’t do that, telling people to go to reddit is cruel

From there the post became a debating point on whether American Urban Design is good or not on the basis of grids and downtowns being bad, the post has over 25,000 notes at the time of posting. I want to address a few things that are bothering me about the notes of that post
First of all are the people complaining about the lack of greenspace which is fair but this is not the whole city, the area shown in the picture is highlighted below over a larger map of San Francisco
As you can see there is a large amount of green space within and around the city, particularly Golden Gate Park which is larger than Central Park by almost 200 acres
Additionally while San Francisco does have issues with urban sprawl, it is also among the densest places in the US as the 24 densest city in the US and 2nd densest city with a population over 100k
And finally that is not a fucking photo of New York

Anyways in the 60s we had the Beatles and in the 90s we had Nirvana, which means logically we would get another band like them in the 2020s, so we are over due for a band from a midsized industrial city that gets so popular they redefine all of music
