> I've noticed that, for a lot of Americans who haven't visited, the scale of NYC can be really deceptive. It's huge. Huge huge.

The very first thing I noticed as my plane was landing in LaGuardia the first time was the absolutely ridiculous scale of the city. It seriously looks like it stretches to the horizon.

It's unfathomable to me that as a species we're able to build and manage something of that size.
