There's many issues with America, from trashing the land to dysfunctional parks, but city sprawl creates traffic jams and pedestrian-unfriendly communities. Big Chief wants to roam free.
I was watching YT and it says spread out but interesting. I enjoy life in my walkable city (80k pop) but I can not handle the suburbs, mostly populated by northern Europeans. To each their own but in the outskirts you need a car.
