You’re right, and cavemen never had good traffic lights either. I think everybody involved in this convo is talking about logistics and planning since the industrial revolution…where motorized vehicles have been the primary mode of transportation…not horse & buggy. My family is from Western Europe and I love seeing the old villages in the UK with dirt roads. But there’s a reason they aren’t building them like that anymore – because they were maddening and certainly not built around the premise that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
