What about similarly populated cities?
In new street additions, Fotokol and Tepeyac both built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1991-2005, then improved, while Jérémie built increasingly disconnected streets over time. For the full street network, though, all three cities follow the same trend. Fotokol and Jérémie have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
