Mega planned Suburb competition. (living, crime rate, compared, America)

The Woodlands is one nicest mater planned communities I have visited. They know have their own little urban downtown building up and are about to try to incorporate as city.

Columbia is this to a T.

Is Naperville really a planned community? It was settled in something like the 1830's. There's the whole Naper settlement thing you can visit there.

Plano TX was settled in 1850. Incorporated shortly there after.

You left off Highlands Ranch, Colorado. A huge planned community of 96,000 started in 1981.

Okay, so I'll first say that I put The Woodlands, Columbia, and Irvine in a separate category since they were purposefully developed as masterplanned communities post WWII.
That said, I don't think that any of them have the cache that Scottsdale has or the overall quality of life that is often attributed to either Naperville or Cary. Finally, Plano is just feels like a continuation of seemingly never-ending DFW sprawl to me.

Plano is not a master planned city.

Sandy Springs and Roswell are at and over 100k for suburban cities in Georgia, not those two

I know. Read posts above.

Irvine uses land much more efficiently it maintains almost 5000 ppsm while 33% of the city is undeveloped. It does this while offering everything that a successful suburb would offer. If we're going to do master planned communities we might as well do them smart.
