minus-square@Tower@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish4•3 days agoOn average, a city block is 1/20 of a mile. But that can vary greatly depending on direction (N/S vs E/W) and location in the city. https://streeteasy.com/blog/how-many-nyc-blocks-are-in-one-mile/
minus-square@eRaclinkEnglish2•2 days agoBlocks are a quarter mile where you are? That’s huge! In Chicago, they are an 8th of a mile, which usually means blocks are 2x2 big buildings downtown.
