it is good for buses to be a publicly owned business run unprofitably if we allow private transit operators, they're just going to run the most profitable routes, not a universal system the way municipal bus systems are run (this was how buses used to work before cities started operating their own systems -- awful patchwork systems that only covered the most profitable areas)

i have an ancestor who lived in lovely Street [sic! "Skidenstræde"] in Copnhagen in the 1700s. it was renamed Krystalgade in 1818 and it houses the synagogue (coincidence not intended, I don't think!) like at least 30% of my copenhagen ancestors have lived on streats that were either renamed or dont exist anymore for other reasons

i mean really once you just have people living in an urban environment for awhile you start getting granularity, it's nothing new which i'm sure isn't hurt by the map spergs at city hall codifying planning districts and police precincts and fire response maps etc heck you can see explicitly modern versions of this process play out with developer sprawl naming and expanding subdivisions and founding HOAs out in the sub/exurbs
