Like most of exurban Connecticut, Granby is a boring, two-horse town with snooty, unfriendly locals; more trees than people; and barely any services. Because New England towns impose strict land use/development restrictions, most of the homes in and around Granby are from the 19th and early 20th centuries--and most require some serious TLC. It's freezing cold for more than half of the year (mid-October-early May) and quite humid in the summer (June-August). Lately, it seems like Connecticut in particular has been plagued with serious storms, up to and including hurricanes, tornadoes, and blizzards.

Those are not stereotypes--it's the truth! Believe it or not, I've been to Granby, as I have family and family friends in West Hartford, Avon, East Windsor, Torrington, and Cornwall, and those were my observations.
What does this have to do with ANYTHING in relation to the premise of this thread?

Anyway, yes, Granby is a boring town with barely any services, but what do you expect?? It's a small town, not a city. Also, how can you say that Granby people are snooty and unfriendly? Are you KIDDING me? Most people in CT agree that Granby people are some of the most friendly in the entire state. It's not a snooty town like Avon or Simsbury by any means. It's different....it's sort of a mixture of farm town and white collar vibes. People are friendly there.

If the OP wants to suggest that Phoenix, LA, and Las Vegas are flat then what city over 2 million qualifies as mountainous? Can Denver, the city so associated with the Rockies, be called flat? Given that LA and PHX both have several neighborhoods punctuated with hills and in-city mountains as well as neighboring ranges closer than Denver's Front Range.

As for "high density", I thought that no sprawling sunbelt city could be high density, as posters from the East and North are always reminding us.

This thread seems pretty troll but I'd say remove grid streets and 6 months of hot and the OP's criteria can apply to many of the darling urban cities so loved on CD.

No it isn't. I just thought it was a funny phrase to describe many metropolitan areas in the U.S. I tried to think of a funny name for other types of cities, but couldn't. People on here need to chill out.
