Iirc no ship could leave the Island until they verified Napoleon was on the land (not hiding on the ship). So he would hide on the Island so the ship couldn't leave.

Yes I understand nyc has more, the point is centrally located
venal /vē′nəl/ adjective
Open to bribery; mercenary.
Characterized by corrupt dealings, especially bribery. I think having both large and small (and tree lined streets) are good ideas. But there's something appealing about a large park that you can really immerse yourself in.
... Technically inside funky city lines is not the same as being in the heart of a city. Gatineau Park even says North of Ottawa. Not North side, North of. "It is not classified as an urban park by its managing authority.[1]"
I really didn't think I'd have to emphasize Central Park is a massive park in the heart of a city such that is surrounded by high rises. At this point I think you're at least talkng in bad faith. So cheers.
Numbered streets are great.
? You tried to bring Windsor, Canada in for some reason. For Canadians to go to Belle Island they need to cross a border and have a passport. This is obviously not the kind of city park I'm talking about.
Agreed, but there is something interesting about a huge park that can really get immersed in.
Central Park was established in 1860 when NYC was 1 million people. Other cities could have seen this good idea and set aside land when they were even smaller.
