I’m sure Londoners will disagree, but in this instance I actually think London came out coolest looking
New York: 0.24
Pairis: 0.00
Rome: *EYYYYYYYY!*
In Seattle, two guys argued about what the orientation of the streets should be. Downtown is N-S, but a little north of downtown, you hit the Denny Triangle and the streets orient along the shore (IIRC). If you have a minute and the data, that might be an interesting one to try.
Now I want to see Boston. As a new Yorker, I’m certain it will look like a beach ball because no two Boston streets run parallel because the city was planned by my drink Irish greatgrandfather.

„New York City“ appears to be only Manhattan here. Other parts of the city have grids with different alignments.
Having grid-like zones in cities (such as Barcelona’s Ensanche or NYC’s Manhattan) is not inherently bad.
Barcelona is interesting because you can see the Eixample and the main cross and then the smaller cross is Diagonal, a massive road that breaks the grid patter at 45 degrees to the rest of the city!

What is going on with Washington, DC’s slightly off the cardinal direction street orientations? The cardinal directions make sense with DC’s grid and the smaller spikes are the avenues, but the large second angle close to the cardinal directions seems like a data issue.
