“Stark shivered with more than the cold. He hated cities anyway. They where traps, robbing a man of his freedom, penning him in with walls and the authority of other men. They were full of the sort of people that he did not like, the mob minded ones, the sheep-like ones and the small predators that used them.” -Eric John Stark: Outlaw of Mars By: Leigh Brackett

And then everywhere in between is a Walmart every 45 minutes and a dollar general every 2 miles.

Phoenix Metro Area is huge, and Phoenix itself is 5th largest city in US. I’m surprised Maricopa County isn’t blue.

WTF is with the odd comma 16,35,77,103 from India? I assume that India has names for each of those 2 digits past 1000. You mean 165,577,103 that is how it is done in the US. This gives a VERY easy demarcation with our words. Thousand, Million, Billion, Trillion, Quadrillion, Quintillion, Sextillion, Septillion, Octillion, Nonillion, Decillion. You might say that no one uses Decillion, but that is what Russia wanted to fine US companies each day (like ah right) for made up violations in their country. That number system is way less confusing than the original British/Euro system of Thousand, Million, Millard, Billion, Billiard, Trillion, Trilliard, Quadrillion, Quadrilliard, etc (IMHO).

I was born and raised in the blue but got out quick to the hinterland. City life is an imbalanced way to exist.

I’m in the Miami Tri-County blue area and I can feel it. It’s damn near impossible to drive anywhere here anymore.

And for some reason, plenty of people here will claim that all of the people in these areas are some sort of unified political block that will tyrannically rule over the greater number of people outside of those areas, if everybody’s votes were to be counted equally and individually.

This map is nonsense. In Michigan, Ingham, with a population of 290k, is highlighted. Washtenaw with 374k and Ottawa with 306k aren’t. Why? Ingham’s population density is 512 per square mile, Washtenaw’s is 527, and Ottawa’s is 526.

A full 50% of the US population lives in the 50ish largest metropolitan areas (iirc Oklahoma City is the 50th largest metro). About half of the remaining live in towns and smaller cities that aren’t strictly a metro-area; at least not contiguously.
But more impressive is that something like 12-15% live in just the four largest — NYC, LA, and Chicago plus Houston (as metro-areas).
