Different people have different preferences.  Some people like lots of
space.
Case in point, where I grew-up in rural central Florida, over half of
the
childeren in who grew in that neck swamp have left Florida for rural
Georgia and
rural Caroloina's.  Why?  They didn't do it for money, the did it for
"elbow
room."	The don't like living in crowded areas and everything that goes
with it.
Not everybody likes to be pampered and spoon fed by suburbia...

If you want more info, I suggest you read the Laura Ingles Wilder
serries.
They'ed pack up and move farther west every time the heard a gun shot in
the woods
and it wasn't theirs...
