Oh God, No! Spare meeeee...

Well, they got the density and the open space (mostly) right. I kind of wonder if they just use some formula to find out the maximum number of houses they can fit on a particular plot of land.
 
This wants to live with me:

The G-1 Glass top pool table is something we can call a true innovation. Created by Australia-based Nottage Design, the G-1 offers a perfect blend of modern styling and latest technology. It enjoys a transparent playing area with a glass top and patented resin playing surface. The patented transparent Vitrik playing surface has been used instead of the traditional felt surface. It gives resistance to rolling balls, just like cloth does. The surface creates a stunning ?floating on air? effect as balls glide smoothly and quietly. On the other hand, the traditional slate bed has been replaced by toughened glass. Other salient features include a ball return mechanism, aesthetically integrated into the table design, BCA-specification pockets and K-66 bumpers.
Brainchild of Craig Nottage, the G-1 table was created as part of the final year assignment for his industrial design course at the University of South Australia. The Vitrik playing surface is available in a range of colors and both transparent and frosted finishes. The G-1 pool table comes for a whopping AU $39,900 (U.S. $25,150), but then, the innovation genuinely compensates for the hefty price tag.

For a minute I thought it was a tape of Ned at a CAC meeting.
 
San Francisco laid out a strict grid without respect to terrain, and I've always wondered why. Does any other city do this?

(Before someone says Manhattan, those hills really aren't in the same league as SF, LA, Boston, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, etc.)
