My Chinese is a little rusty, but it appears to be a petition about protesting Chinese judicial injustice. Someone in China trying to get the American government to act.

Chicago has a single street that is over 23 miles in length (within the city limits not the urban area) It would be difficult to divide that up along with Manhattan Island. The small town 13000 population is over 8 square miles.

What we need is a petition to force "twin cities" to become a single city, reducing the number of public employees.

A 2 mile by 2 mile city is a very very small operating unit, and would be a very small town that couldn't support very much population. Cushman Arkansas is 4 sq miles, and supports 452 people, albeit at a very small density (113/sq mi). Quadruple that density (to 400/sq mi or 1600 people), and you're looking at probably a very tight residential district with very little room for commerce, government, or essential services.


This idea is dumb on so many levels. Why would you even consider it? What possible advantages could it have?

I liked it because it reminded me of a Yogi Berra story.

The guy at the pizza parlor asked Yogi if he wanted his pizza sliced into 4 or 8 pieces. Yogi said "you better make it four....I don't think I could eat 8."


Wait, wait, this could work. We could divide the larger cities simply by plowing mile-wide paths of destruction in a grid.

I call dibs on New York! And Bagger 288!

Think of this as an opportunity to create arcologies. Airports get built on the ceiling.

Wouldn't you want them on the roof? The ceiling is generally inside the building, and I'm not sure how the plane would stay up against it.

According to the dingo theory of mango strings the ceiling and the roof are just superpositions of the same shipping container membrane.
