kjb434 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 good point in showing the relationship. They are just on a much larger scale than we are. They have over 10 million people in the region (not just city) in about the same land area we have our city and suburbs.MidtownCoog would be one of the best people to talk about this for more accurate info.

MidtownCoog Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 M25 is pretty much their BW8. I read they even wanted to build a third loop (Grand Parkway) around London. I never drive when I am there. Gatwick to Victoria Station, cab to The Strand, and buses and the tube to get around town. And don't forget the congestion zone fees if you want to drive in the city. I have a co-worker in London who spends 1.5 hours each way, using a combination of car, train and tube. Makes me relish my <30 minute drive to downtown in my hot-rod.

RedScare Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 They even have a bayou running through the middle of it!For even more bizarre coincidences, look at this chart of land area.http://www.demographia.com/db-lonlanypar.htmFor comparison, Houston is about 630 sq. miles, and Harris County is about 1778 square miles.

BayouCityGirl Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 vs I actually discovered looking at this by looking at the little map in the Time Magazine and I was thinking "whoa! this is so WEIRD!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
