Holy crap. I don't think I want to spend the time to find all the easter eggs he's probably buried in there.

I'd try to parse the 1110.js that gives the source for all the tiles, and then recompose the total image, but it seems to be 165,888 x 79,872px total (at least the subjacent html map is).

EDIT: And then I'd not, because on the Internet, somebody else always did that before.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.

That's disappointing -- as it's only about 0.002% of the necessary scale to make the joke work.

(assuming 10 pixels to the foot and neglecting the atmosphere)

"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."
