Forget State Lines — This Map Shows You How America is Really Divided
Policy Mic ^ | February 5, 2014 | Tom McKay

Posted on 02/09/2014 3:15:18 PM PST by Twotone

This map from the Regional Plan Association, an urban research institute in New York, shows how the country is really organized — and it's not primarily around individual cities.

Instead, their America 2050 project proposes that we begin to view the country's urban areas not as discrete metropolitan areas but as interconnected "megaregions." Megaregions are areas where large cities and the spaces in between share "interlocking economic systems, shared natural resources and ecosystems, and common transportation systems."

We don’t call GM Government Motors for nothing, just see above how they singlehandedly ruined our Mass Transit in America for good....lessons for Zero? Who knows.

Why the hell would we want to invade Canada?? They already have the majority of Useless Americans through their program to accept DRAFT DODGERS to begin with.

They deserve each other.

cities started merging in the 1830’s. Where i live was the 4th largest city in the US in 1830. Philadelphia was between the rivers and below Spring Garden and above South street. We where the Northern Liberties. One of William Penn’s original ideas to expand the state was to offer large rural tracts of land in the middle and northern areas of the state if you purchased a manufacturing size lot in the Northern Liberties. Many companies did this to access raw materials in the hinterlands of the state. Read about two people that really did “build this”, the Wurts Brothers who built the Delaware and Hudson Canal. link provided http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaware_and_Hudson_Canal Also road named pikes around philly were i believe all built private as well as some bridges and ferry’s. Some pikes here were private up until the 1930’s, Sorry Obama and all leftists, Government did not build most of the infrastructure in this country, ordinary or extraordinary people did. I wish Rush, Hannity and Levin would start to educate with this stuff.

“One problem. Flyover country is where their food comes from. The dummies in those designated areas don’t raise food, they only buy it.”

The votes of the ones that grow the food are bought and paid for. Mostly may as well be counted with the city centers.

This is a population density map, and where population is dense, so are the voters.

this map shows where the majority of the "stuff for free" people are located...

I wouldn't consider the "Gulf Coast" region a 'stuff for free' location. The MS Delta, maybe, but not the Coast.
