Once again, have you ever been to Ohio? Cincinnati and Cleveland are two amazing cities with great history, sprawl is bad, but what American city isn't? Los Angeles ranks up there as one of the worst in the WORLD!
Cleveland, Cincy, and Columbus certainly can't be nicer than San Antonio, Austin and even Dallas or Houston.
LOL Austin?? Cleveland is beautiful, Cincinnati has the hills and amazing architecture, and Columbus is just another Dallas or Houston, a newer city. You people need to take a visit to Ohio before you start bashing it like you do. It sounds like you have never been to Ohio either.

at least LA is densely sprawled with lots to do. ive been to cincinatti. reminded me of a runned down version of minneapolis, no offense.
and ohio is flat, which must explain the states lack of zoning laws. socal has an excuse cuz its extremely earthquake prone and its terrain/topography is extremely erratic, with hills, canyons, and valleys all over the place in and out of city limits. it doesnt want to repeat a 1906 san francisco

You must have been to central or western ohio, because Eastern and NE Ohio are nothing like you describe. I've lived in Ohio my whole life and every place i've lived has zoning. Not sure what topography has to do w/zoning, BTW. Maybe there is no zoning in some rural areas, but this isn't the case where i live.
Oh yeah, and not all of Ohio is flat, just West of Cleveland and Central Ohio:
The problem is so many, especially developers, are intent on spreading that stuff everywhere...I suppose Alaska only being about 1% or less privately owned may have a benefit after all, keeping the development down. I imagine cities not offering any services whatsoever (water, sewage, fire fighting, schools, etc.) outside their strict borders would cut down on the spread of the ugliness.
On this we agree.
BTW, IMHO highway "improvements" are the first inch of the short slippery slope to spreading development! I think lots of rural dwellers don't realize what they are wishing for when they demand wider, faster roads in their areas! After the developers show up, it is too late.
Anyone who has spent hours on an interstate may indulge
in one of my runaway twisted ( but not serious ) fantasies of
grenade launching of billboards. Mail box hockey in the extreme.
