What city has no street signs? And they are vastly easier to navigate than grids where every corner looks the same.
Well, might depend on what you've grown up with.
They're also far more enjoyable for walking.
Strolling down grid roads with gigantic buildings feels like you're getting nowhere. Absolutely mind numbing.
A lot of streets in London lack signs. And house numbers are quite rare. So even if you have a street sign you still have no fucking clue where you are without a GPS.
