General Township Updates and Rumours
Why don't you try reading the entire thing next time? You'll see in the very next sentences I acknowledge that grids predate the automobile. As I pointed out, they go back thousands of years. But obviously we're not discussing ancient Babylonian, Roman or Indus or even more "modern" middle age European or Asian cities which utilized grid plans. We're discussing contemporary grid systems and their effects on modern planning in relation to automobiles, safety, permeability of navigating a community...you know, things we are concerned about in 2024.

There's plenty of research out there on the design of cities both past and present if you're inclined to educate yourself on why I'm correct, but you state your time is limited so I assume you don't actually want to understand, you just thought you might have a gotcha moment.
