It's well-organized. They're ordered along cardinal directions, generally radiating outward from the city center, with the direction also in the name, with the number (i.e. East 32nd Street, meaning the street 32 blocks east of Downtown or wherever the numbers start).

It's designed for the grid plan typical of American cities, and it works perfectly.

>this american creativity on street names

most of the cities in finlan were built in the 20th century but we would never have anything like that no, for example i lived my childhood in a working class neighbourhood built in the 1960's so all the streets were named after working class professions, like my street was welders street and the second one was the smiths street and then was the carpenters etc…

And names of trees baka

A lot of American cities have native American names.
