  • This only works in cities with naming schema that work that way. For my city, if I wanted to go to my old college, I’d drive to Columbia Parkway and have to take Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard all the way in, or divert through downtown to Victory Parkway otherwise. Some places in the city are named logically or you know where they are, but outside of downtown, you abandon the 5th/6th/7th sort of scheme in many cities in America that weren’t initially Planned Cities.

    Now, you can do this in a handful of American cities (Indianapolis, for instance), but not most of them.











  • The big issue is giving Russia the territory it conquered. This is “if you give a mouse a cookie” in geopolitics - Russia will see this as a pause to let them rebuild, then they’ll take over a little more, and a little more, until they own everything. This is how Israel keeps expanding its borders, and it will signal to every other country out there, if accepted, that invasions are totally fine, you just have to make the conflict public enough that the West forces capitulation.
