- woodman 11y ago> I'm from a more metropolitan area i guess. I would be surprised if you are from somewhere more metropolitan than Kobe Japan [0]. It is much more likely that you are just young. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keihanshin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keihanshin
- DawkinsGawd 11y agoPopulation density is considerably less than that of NYC. Scaling NYC up to 13,000 km² would put the population 90 million
- woodman 11y agoThe population density is also much less if we scaled the population of my apartment up to 13,000 km², but that isn't how metropolitan areas are traditionally measured. The NYC metro area includes three states, lots of sprawl - so it is much less dense.
- Symbiote 11y agoI remember the local village library books only had dates on the borrowing slips. My library card was a 5x5cm card sleeve. If I borrowed something, the return date was stamped in the book, and on the book's removable 5x15cm slip. That slip was put inside my card, and probably ordered by due date in the librarian's index file. This was early 1990s in Britain.
