Cape Coral, FL has 400+ miles of waterways. It is the result of land speculation in the 1950’s where almost everyone could have waterfront property. It is generally considered to be a poorly designed city. Looking at a map of CC, it is hard to imagine how someone might navigate the intricate canal system.

has about 26 miles, and Amsterdam has about 60 miles.

correct answer is a medium-sized city (population ~250k).

right concept being Florida, been down there and have visuals of driving down roads with lots of boats parked all over the place on clearly man-made water ways, and there is the intercoastal, right?
Good trivia question though, makes you think.
San Diego? Great Lakes somewhere? Chicago? Norfolk? Minnesota connecting a bunch of lakes?
