I dunno. Looks pretty boring to me. But I'm used to Europe which often has more "random" streets.

And then there's Reno which has McCarran Blvd that goes all the way around the city in a huge loop. Lost in the city? Just drive til you hit McCarran and then go either direction for a fun circular adventure!

I live in suburbs of Chicago. Maybe see a dozen where I live. In the city none whatsoever. Only planes. And muzzle flashes

Sure they have. There have been some pretty large power outages.

The closer to modernity a city's creation is, the higher the level of order it'll showcase.
It's a lot easier to create a well organized city when you're not trying to pave over squiggly cattle runs.

Incorrect. This is entirely down to previous beliefs on efficient city planning and it has produced fairly bad results as compared to squiggly cattle runs.

Lol what? Rome was created using a grid and is an example of highly efficient planning, organization, and order. LA and Houston look like they were designed by rabid chimps.
Can you elaborate on your point a bit more? City planning is more affected by the people planning it and how corrupt/ stupid they are regardless of the time period.

I feel like that's the point. Humans are animals like any other. We don't do this organized grid nonsense without a reason. What's the reason? The OP suggests it's a more efficient means for "Modernity"; but Modernity had many parts and I would consider parts like social order, culture, and economics all to be structures that bind and enslave humans.
I.E. this grid structure of a city is a physical manifestation of a city purposely built to efficiently enslave humans, rather than serve.

LA isn't that bad. Have you seen Hickory, NC? That's a shitshow.

Here, look at this mess. Let's try to find 10th St Pl NW:
