Mazrim, do you work in neighbourhood development? Curious what your thoughts are on the idea that the "curvilinear" model was 'better' from a land-use standpoint because if you look at the aggregate land usage they actually used less space on roadways. I remember reading some literature about the "grid" design and one of the chief arguments for moving away from it in the '60s was the idea that a grid—especially with alleys—used a far higher proportion of the developable land on roads.
