The NY Water Project is, as mentioned, a huge engineering project. 5 levels of subways and trains and no streetcars (but lots of buses). A few errors though- The selection of meats and produce has not decreased though but that is because of greater refrigerated transport. And unfortunately the airports and lighter-than-air ships in downtown are absent. And a letter still takes 3 days to get from SF but almost no one will bother. This article is pretty accurate-
