The US really is mostly empty and zoning is the way it is because the infrastructure needs to be upgraded first.

- asdff 4y agoYeah but alot of it is too inaccessible. The dense areas like LA county are built out to the mountainsides. What's left is desert that has no good access to the urban core containing the rest of the population, due to the massive mountain range in the way and only like two good routes that are nowhere near a convenient straight shot through. Its a lot easier to just think about how we can stack up people where they already are, where the jobs already are, then to go off scarring up more and more of the earth with development. There's plenty scarred already, lets just build up there.
