    I measured the area of the yellow area in Inkscape. It’s 30% of the image. The streets are roughly another 20% (and many of those are just circling the parking lots).

    So we could pack almost twice as much stuff into this image, and therefore reduce average travel times by … 30%? Depends on how densification would happen.

      Curious how you did that in inkscape. Was it time consuming? I know about the trace path function which could be used for the yellow, but how did you do the streets?

        I just put rectangles on like 6 blocks and got about 26% street area, then figured many places had bigger blocks or narrower streets. The area is measured by extensions -> measure path.
