His Royal Highness –
Most apply the criterion to the street.
Absolutely not. As I mentioned Rav Moshe required a daily shishim ribo. Rav Moshe did not accept the fact that in the summertime the beaches bring in a larger population. (In any case, the beaches are contained by their own mechitzos.)
[Even more so, at the same time there are more people who commute out of Brooklyn to work 424,000 (NYC Department of City Planning, Table CTPP P-6, P-7, 2003).] Now only factor the 12×12 mil subset of Brooklyn and the tally would be even less.
They were talking about a 12×12 mil subset when they made the tally in Chicago.
