- kaesar14 5y agoOk, just compare the Metropolitan areas. The actual city of DC is 68.34 mi², smaller than Hong Kong. Still worse to get around in.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoHong Kong is actually just a few urban areas separated by a bunch of really really tall hills (and rural areas in between). That anyone can get around at all in that city is already amazing. The DC metro area is just a pretty flat sprawl. It should be an easy case transportation wise, but...Americans.
