Forum rules

Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Somewhere between seven and twenty. Salt lake has seven/mile, new youk is 20/mile for streets (short blocks) while the avenues are much further apart (long blocks). Portland, on the other hand, is laid out in a 200 foot grid.

In many large eastern cities, a City Block is a standard 1/20 of a mile. That is, there is that much space between the centerlines of the streets in grid-platted parts of the city.
