What about similarly populated cities?
While Dahanu and Rosh HaAyin both built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved, Tank built increasingly disconnected streets over time in new street additions. For the full network, Tank and Rosh HaAyin both became progressively more disconnected, while Dahanu grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. Tank and Rosh HaAyin have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
