Reason behind using Manhattan distance

my case is noise in another dimension ;)
however if noise is added to the main dimension,
it will be
sqrt((1 + x)^2 + 1)
vs
|1 + x | + 1
and if we put two curves together (shifted so that tey intersects on x=0)

euclidean looks terrible with large noise in one dimension, and manhattan looks robust.
