Thank you for your careful, thoughtful and poignant analysis, particularly of this classic behemoth among cities.

    The Verrazano's Narrows Bridge was built with the curvature of the Earth in mind. The tops on each side are slightly farther apart than the bottoms of each side. Presumably, if you were to follow them vertically, they wouldn't be parallel. Instead, they would meet in the center of the Planet.

    I recommend, that you check out, or make a video about ongoing megaproject in the Baltic states - "Rail Baltica". There is an impressive station design in tallinn, as well as in Riga. That would be a great video!
