Is there a more poorly laid out city than Lincoln?

[crispripley]

Got to know the Lincoln streets well when I was a runner for a law firm during college. North to South - 10th and 56th street are the quickest.

 

[Ext. 55]

The infrastructure is completely trash. Takes 25 minutes just to get anywhere. 35 min from North to south. Swimtown has it better.

It’s shit…and Omaha is that diahrea through a screen door shit. Cause well, Omaha.

No offense brother, but that scenario scares the shit out of me. I'll take a messy city any day over any "planned" community. To each his own... Shakespeare, not thE kErnEl

Honestly, it was pretty great. Highest per capita income & police-to-citizen ratio in the state of Georgia. You felt completely safe there 100% of the time.

And going for a morning run or bike ride on the cart paths through the pine trees with all of all of the flight attendants, pilot & businessmen’s wives, and local southern girls would have been right up your alley, amigo. Opportunity central for a fit, young midwestern lad. 😎

Hmmmm, you make quite the convincing argument.

This is also exactly how I know my way around DT Lincoln so well.

And I don’t mean just the roads, I’m talking about every skywalk or tunnel connecting the buildings, doors that you didn’t know were there and shortcuts through buildings/etc.


Like most people have no idea you can walk from the Cornhusker Marriott to campus without ever going outside.

ITT: we were all law firm runners and now have kids around 2

Tbh Omaha is one of the easiest cities to get around out there. Grid pattern of the streets really helps

Twin Cities are surprisingly efficient as well.

I mean... 84th Street is pretty fucking quick North to South.

Being the law firm runner >>> being a law firm associate

And you used to be able to get some legit breakfast burritos while doing it.

Boston has to be near the top. I feel like the streets were laid out by Paul Revere riding his drunk ass around in circles on his blind horse. Throw in the "Big Dig" that has been going on for almost 3 decades...it's an absolute shitshow to get around. Fuck Boston.

 

[Woodrow F Call]

Austin TX has to rank near the bottom

I concur

Wasn’t a runner, but was an intern DT like 20 years back and would get bored and then explore all the connections. I learned where to get breakfast and coffee more than anything on that job.

Go visit Boston, then come back to Lincoln and kiss the feet of the city planners.

Drove through downtown Boston about a month ago. Kept getting on streets that went thru tunnels……Lol

Don’t know about Boston overall but the streets we drove on, away from downtown, were in horrible shape. Transmission and alignment shops must be busy as shit.

Rumor has it that traffic throughout yore city tends to be on the sucky side. Just a rumor, tho…….🤣

At times. For a city of 2 million, it's to be expected.

The Northeast is the worst place to live if you have a car. Stop and go traffic on old roads that are salted 6 inches deep in the winter.

I've been told from a Dallas friend that it's one of the best for how the suburbs are laid out. He lying to me @lee_carvallo_12
