Area codes are the way they are because the most populous areas should be the easiest to dial on a rotary phone. So, New York got 212, Chicago got 312, LA 213, Detroit 313, CT 203, NJ 201, etc. The second digit was always 0 or 1 to make dialing easier. Now it doesn’t matter, and it’s total anarchy, with middle digits greater than 1, overlays and cell-phone-only codes everywhere, and people having cell phones in states where they don’t even live.

Soon you can. We’ll send nukes to deal with the problem.

Then there isn’t a number for you to vote no at. But there is an open venue for gloating about wanting to, if you so choose.
