Atlanta, Dallas, Minneapolis - all testaments to America’s unwillingness to embrace rail for commuting, all three are behemoths of urban sprawl.

All built up largely after WWII, like SoCal, with the fact that millions of people can’t figure out if they want to close enough to other people for convenient access to skills and products, or not. So they make themselves micro-estates on former-farmland/desert where they are 20 or 30 miles away from where they want to go on any given day.
