alt Hacker NewsA Chinese person who was here in the US as a foreign student once commented to me that he was so surprised that the United States was like the country side. He didn’t realize how rural the country was.
This was at UCLA which is in LA which is the second biggest city in the US.

West LA isn't like a Chinese city, but no one in their right mind would call UCLA rural

When friends visited NYC and we drove around a bit they said “it’s like everything is half finished”

Presumably referring to population density? People like the low density in California.
I get the same thing here is Australia. There is a lot of space with little going on.
I mean we have the Nullarbor plain. The name literally means 'No Trees', and it is very fitting.
If you ever end up there... I hope you don't.
