NYC != Manhattan. 1.6 million of 8.3 million New Yorkers live on Manhattan.

Traditionally good neighborhoods have lots of parks.

DC is very similar IMO. The through streetscapes were intended to be beautiful, which anyone who has seen Queens boulevard can tell you is not true of NYC. But at the neighborhood level, it's pretty similar.



>NYC != Manhattan.

Right, but even if you go to the outer boroughs there is still almost no green space. I would like to see a map of where they are polling from.


NYC has absolutely massive cemeteries. I would be that they are counted in the green space though they don't have the kind of attractions that people typically associate with parks as they are densely packed.

In Boston, there is at least one cemetery that is filled with wildlife, trees, and walkable monuments, so there are different ways to do it.

That's true. I forgot to account for them because they're not really open access. They're also too full of gravestones to have activities in.


I grew up in Maspeth, Queens.

There were at least a few dozen "pocket parks" within a 15 minute walk of my home. Juniper Valley park was a larger park about 15 minute drive/30 minute walk. Forest park was a little further.
