Sorry, not my cup of tea. I need my acre of grass and view of water and mountains. But it's a good photo.

I am too, but there's something about urban sprawl that also kind of appeals to me in a weird way.

That's not urban sprawl. This is urban sprawl.

Empty parking lot of abandoned strip mall.

That's the american dream right there.

Few meters of space for basketball? No way, too urban.

Square miles of parking and walking across hot asphalt for big box retail that killed small downtowns? Excellent!

I mean, yeah, that's the definition of urban sprawl. It's not supposed to be a good thing. It means it's a bad use of the land.

Sprawl refers to the act of spreading out carelessly, awkwardly, or irregularly
