  1. build suburban stuff to increase tax base
  2. suburban stuff built generates not enough taxes to maintain itself
  3. repeat as long as possible as infrastructure deteriorates
  4. ???
  5. bankruptcy (see Detroit, Flint)

God OKC is just miles and miles of nothing. And the freeways there are perfectly straight. You have to constantly wonder if you've been shuffled off of the mortal plane into a hell where you just keep driving, endlessly, with no real destination or beauty in sight.

I refuse to let you compare LA (urban sprawl) and Houston (a bunch of suburbs pretending to be a city).

[-] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

That's fair. Los Angeles is more like a bunch of cities in a trench coat anyways.

well that's a bunch of random giant ass-numbers, if you had the popular density with each city then it would mean something to me.
