As any urban dweller can tell you, the one thing that's constant in city life is change. Buildings rise up and are torn down; parks bloom out of old train tracks; swimming pools become ice rinks that become arcades and then turn into Whole Foods.

Ha, I can't answer that one. I don't want to get in too much trouble. I'll just say that we agree that it is a feature worth implementing and plan to do so.

For now. We're still rolling this feature out, but that's on our eventual to-do list.

A few notes here: the 7 line stop at 10th avenue will not be built. It was a part of the original plan, but to keep the line under budget, it was scrapped.

Phase 1 of the Second Avenue Subway (which will be an extension of the Q line up 2nd Avenue, stopping at 72nd and 86th before terminating at 96th street) is scheduled to be in revenue service in December 2016, but that's been already pushed back a few times. Don't be surprised if it slips into 2017.

Now that the majority of humans live in cities, we're going to be confronting a new set of problems in urban life. For one thing, natural disasters in cities can cause much greater numbers of fatalities than in sparse, rural communities. So the cities of tomorrow will need to be robust against many kinds of disaster,…

Still, city life sometimes feels much too crazy and complex for simple hominins like ourselves. Have our own urban creations evolved more quickly than we have? The answer is no. As evolutionary biologist Marlene Zuk has argued:

Humans began to live in urban settlements about 7 thousand years ago. As humans continued to evolve over the millennia, so too did our cities. Now, our cities are about to change again — and they're going to look more like ancient Machu Picchu than the gleaming towers of glass and steel we have today. 3
