I really hope NY get on board as well. Being in Manhattan during the winter, the sun is gone many days by 4pm, sometimes earlier depending which part of the city you are in (which skyscraper is blocking the last bit of sunlight). As a native Texan it's tough to adjust to :O

- grzm 9y agoThinking a little bit more about this, I'm wondering how much this would really help. Yes, there would be more daylight in the evening, but given the latitude, how much longer in the morning would it be dark? I found this handy tool to get a feel for it: https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/new-york https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/new-york And here's Boston: https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/boston https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/boston

In summer, it's mostly not night at all: the twilight periods eat half the clock-nighttime. In winter, twilight gets cut in half and combines with the losses of daylight to extend nighttime.
- deathanatos 9y ago> the sun is gone many days by 4pm Nowhere in Manhattan is that true (though perhaps I'll grant that a building might occlude the sun, but you're exaggerating). Conservatively, if we pick Albany, NY as the "northernmost extent of Manhattan", the earliest sunset is ~4:21pm.
