Sprawl has absolutely nothing to do with what kind of land it's built on.

Jacksonville, with Indianapolis a close second. Columbus is in the middle of the pack among large cities for urbanity. Charlotte is becoming more urban, however, it feels very suburban considering its size.

Seriously man, I agree 100%. I know someone who seriously texted me(when I texted wanna come over later today?) they said: nah bro im at a funeral lol

Well back to the main question, I think there should be waaay more cities listed, or an "other" option. I mean because I would definitely say Portland, san jose, or san diego from personal experience.

Only New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Columbus have been omitted. I'm going by the population of the city proper, because I'd expect that most suburbs feel pretty suburban.

Portland's population is 587,865.

But, yeah, Portland is pretty damn suburbany.
