    This isn’t an “America is big” problem?

    What is the population density of New York vs Moscow?

    New York is 27,000 per square kilometer. Moscow is around 8.5 thousand.

    Combine that extreme density with infrastructure that was built hundreds of years ago, and additionally several chokepoints at only a few major bridges and tunnels.
