That's the point. If you have to put effort into community living, then its distracting you from more important issues. Now, is it really effortful to live on wavey streets instead of straight streets? I live on a semi-circle and I have a hard time figuring out North, but that's me. HOWEVER, the SV claim apparently is based on some intuition about the interaction of devas with the land and the users of the land. It's a religious thing, obviously, unless some scientific basis can be found for the claims. Are you criticizing the entire Hindu culture and religion because their tradition says streets alligned with NS/EW are better than streets that aren't?
