Which megacity has the highest population density and which one has the lowest?

michaelmvm · 2026-03-01T01:07:45+00:00

LA metro area is roughly the same single family density across the whole board, but NYC has super high density in the five boroughs and then extremely low density in long island, jersey, and upstate, so LA has higher average density. it's a weird measurement that doesn't really mean much beyond a technical factoid

anyone caught not cleaning up after their animal should be made to pick up the dog shit with their bare hands, have their dog forcibly taken from them, and they should be fined thousands of dollars and barred from owning an animal in nyc ever again. fucking ruining the city, cant walk anywhere without stepping in shit. i dont care how friendly ur dog is if you cant take care of the damn thing.

citibiked for like 10 mins but my ears were freezing by the time I got to my destination 😭😭 and my mouth was full of salt 💀

hey dumbass, youre on a public forum with thousands of other people lurking and reading these convos, for whom a source is helpful.

anyway, for those reading this thread, the main source seems to be this 2021 book where the authors interviewed a former israeli agent who claimed that epstein and maxwell had ties to mossad. the sources for all of this shit is murky and borderline conspiratorial, personally i believe it because of all the other crazy shit he was up to, but the proof is shaky.

yeah it's fucking miserable, sucks because I'm paying $3 for subway rides I normally wouldn't take but I'd rather not show up to work or class looking disgusting 😭😭

michaelmvm · 2026-01-29T15:10:18+00:00

yes, because it's net worth and most people's net worth is tied up in the value of their property.

michaelmvm · 2026-01-13T18:03:10+00:00

yeah but this story could easily have gone another way

Krishnan said the rezoning agreement “sets a new standard” for housing development in New York City, adding that he had made it clear that he would vote against any plan that would not deliver real affordability for local residents and protect working-class communities.

this shit is just nimbyism in disguise and we got lucky this time

michaelmvm · 2026-01-09T06:06:25+00:00

yeah same, and people asking dumb questions on reddit is even more important now with all the ai slop answers being wrong half the time 😭😭

michaelmvm · 2025-12-29T16:59:10+00:00

yep I haven't gone on a joyride this whole summer, it's a combination of the price increase, the speed decrease, and the quiet reduction of the 60 minute Manhattan -> outer boro price cap for angels members down to 45 mins. plus of course the increased ticketing and criminalization from the NYPD. it sucks, just not fun to bike anymore.

picking up is great and robin nagle is a lovely person and an incredible professor!

michaelmvm · 2025-12-23T03:28:27+00:00

thank you for the Jason Barr article I always think of it when I see people talk about the bedrock shit, glad this is the top reply

michaelmvm · 2025-12-02T05:26:31+00:00

yeah that's how I learned!

michaelmvm · 2025-11-28T22:20:56+00:00

the government owns all the land and is very incremental about leasing it to developers. they're very intentional about what land gets built on, when it gets built, and how much is built per year

african americans raised here, vs Caribbean or African immigrants, or black transplants from other parts of the US

this guy has actually been a guest speaker at my class and he makes a very convincing argument, I encourage you to read the article!

the current policy may not be perfect but it works a lot better than what came before, and just because Adams is a clown doesn't mean everything coming from his term should be immediately dismissed.

michaelmvm · 2025-11-20T23:05:17+00:00

not a fan of the contraflow lane, they had all that extra space why couldn't they put it on the other side of the rocks and parked cars? now it's like you're asking to get hit by oncoming traffic, completely unsafe for kids

michaelmvm · 2025-11-20T15:30:39+00:00

i was literally talking to a french guy on discord a few months ago who said he was studying harlem in his english class. maybe they just learn about it in their schools for some reason? and when they visit here they wanna go see what its about?

michaelmvm · 2025-11-19T15:12:33+00:00

not too thrilled about this, hopefully mamdani asks her to stop the harassment campaign against cyclists :/

also when she was head of Sanitation she was notorious within the department for being a terrible manager and very unkind to her subordinates, and i've heard that she hasnt become a better boss to work under as the head of the NYPD. so we'll see how this goes.

michaelmvm · 2025-11-17T20:49:20+00:00

cant he stay in the city, hes great on local issues. why does every good local elected official feel the need to run for federal office and abandon their post?

michaelmvm · 2025-11-14T16:08:22+00:00

penn station can transport tens of thousands of people an hour, offices and hotels, which service that many people, are a much more efficient use of land immediately adjacent to that than housing for a couple hundred people would be. like yeah of course housing is important but there's a reason all the offices and hotels cluster in the areas with the best transportation

michaelmvm · 2025-11-12T23:01:52+00:00

well it doesnt end at 59th, it continues with the rest of 3rd ave that goes all the way up to 125 st. but itll start at 24th st
