- timr 2y agoYou can't compare land areas directly. London is twice the size of New York. Population density, land uses, etc. are completely different. For example, only about 140k people [1] live in the London area. Easily 800k live in the Manhattan area, and probably more (population density is higher on the lower half of the island, due to things like Central Park).

- chgs 2y agoSo higher density means fewer cars per person and more reason to have a congestion charge
