New vs. old might also be a factor. I live in Atlanta and detest virtually all Sun Belt development in the last few decades because it&#x27;s so spread out.<p>The suburbs in the Rust Belt, in places like South Bend, IN (where I spent my elementary school years), or Buffalo, NY, are a lot more dense and palatable in this regard. I&#x27;d still dislike living there, but it&#x27;s a far cry from living truly, honest-to-god in the middle of nowhere in places like ATL, DFW, PHX...
