Yeah, she could have named it after Malcolm X and I would not have cared but not someone who thinks white people were invented by evil scientists......

Well I would have cared as that would get pretty confusing with the existing Malcolm X Boulevard…

Hahaha, I always think of Queens where there can be 68th Ave is right next to 68th Drive and 68th Road. Some people came up with that system and though "yep, that won't ever be confusing"

Also the part of Queens where 23rd crosses 23rd, 23rd, and 23rd

Queens urban-planning is so bafflingly bad. Ironically their bike infrastructure is really good.

It isn't that bad when realize it started as multiple towns and just filled in over time. Gotta cut some slack because it's a lot more organic that strictly planned. Plus the bifurcated addresses help: 150-12 30th Ave is at 150th Street.
