It’s nice driving along and seeing woods and animals and not the 100th strip mall/plaza/condos.

Most of the more populated areas in this country are just disgusting urban sprawl with countless banal stores and bland fast food chains.

I don’t consider progress to be cleaning woods for another dollar general.

Honestly a lot of Oxford County and thereabouts is developing that kind of disgusting suburban sprawl in the rural areas. All the state routes are filling up with eyesores.

We have less sprawl than the rest of the country, but not because we have learned from their mistakes. Much the reverse, we are trying hard to catch up to them.

There are some ugly spots but it is easy to get out into the countryside on smaller roads. I don’t think you’ll ever see real sprawl here.

Man, just look 30 minutes away in New Hampshire. Strip malls in mountain valleys.
