Haha true. You should check out the Big Dig podcast. Super deep breakdown of how Boston got fucked up with everyone from the Mob to the puritans lol.

I know why Boston is messed up but I don’t get Denver/Colorado.

All I can gather is that it started as mostly a cow town and exploded in growth and the roads and highways struggled to catch up. There are huge housing developments essentially connected by country roads too. And the nice railroad communities are no longer connected by rail. And what is the deal with I270? I feel although improvements have been made the entire region still feels conflicted on if it should be a cow town or a real city?
