I'm always amazed at how many people on here are "experts", yet have quite obviously never studied urban development in a formal setting. Because if one had, one of the first courses one would take would be something dealing with comparative urban geography and development patterns... and Philadelphia and New York are literal textbook examples of two American cities which grew at the same general time, yet exhibit significantly different patterns of development.

Can you elaborate? I'd honestly like to know.
