The buildings are the low density and all the space between. That's the problem.

  • sprawling low density detached housing developments on at least 1/4 acre lots, each
  • single-story shopping strips/plazas with massive parking lots
  • werehouses and other 1 or 2-story commercial and industrial zones
  • sprawling office parks with 2-story buildings and big parking lots
  • the occasional undeveloped 100 acre lot or remnant of a working farm here and there
  • lots of wide roads, median strips, with massive setbacks (stroads) to connect all of the above
