I didn't respond with a deflection, I responded with an actual argument ... I don't need experience of living in New York to tell you that the distance between 2 buildings will amount to a four minute walk so you don't even need a vehicle for realistic response time when you could easily run to your target location in a minute ... Traffic doesn't mean shit when you're in your most mobile form such as your feet ... |
That's a textbook defelction, but thank you for answering the question now. You really do need that experience to understand it, especially with regards to high-rise buildings in fire conditions. I had to cross 2nd Ave. at 8th St. last Sunday night, and (due to construction access) it took me 5 minutes to get across the street! It was literally the other side of the road. I didn't have to climb 50 flights easier, which is what auto-programmed elevator recalls necessitate, too. I built 13 buildings, several of which were high-rises, throughout NYC, and have been in the city for over 15 years. Google Maps can't tell you a damn thing of what it takes to get into and up a building in an emergency.
