Wrong, hanging out in the grid would be like congregating on a train, just one where you control the stops and starts. You get on the train when you right click on the Grid access. My original analogy is apt.

For instance, I work in Times Square in the middle of New York City. Times Square and the rest of midtown Manhattan are dominated by huge office buildings containing hundreds of thousands of people during the day. The very reason that Times Square is, well, Times Square is because it is the intersection of at least 4 different subway lines. In addition, the main bus terminal is 1 block away, one major rail terminus is 4 blocks away and the other major rail center is 9 blocks away.
You make my case eloquently. Anyone spending even a little time in Times Square sees the problems of overcrowding firsthand. If NYC could place its mass transit in other places and maintain convenience for users it surely would. The new grid location in Trade is still quite convenient, as are banks. I would imagine the change was made for other reasons than caprice.

Wrong, I can crisscross the whole of RK in 25 minutes. The moves in Trade may add 15 SECONDS to your travel time. Please rethink your statement.

I too am a New Yorker. Here's another New York analogy. Trade before was like having a subway exit ON THE FLOOR OF THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
Thanks again for moving the bank and Trade Grid FC. Please leave them be.
