    Here’s a portion of detroit:

    The city is almost entirely grid, some of it at an angle. You can see these two grids visualized in the post.

      Seattle too has a section that’s perfectly n/s. It was built upon infill created by destroying larger hills, flattening the city and filling in the bays. The older city is canted off at a strange angle, you can see the streets change directions at denny way near downtown.

      Outside the downtown corridor everything is aligned NS iirc.
