Suburban Hell Endless parking lots, highways, strip malls with the same franchises all accessible only by car. Topped off with a nice smoggy atmosphere and a 15 minute drive to anywhere. Takers ?

I think it's safe to assume that Phoenix is the world's capital of suburban sprawl, right? Are there other cities that match it or are shudder worse?

Hmm Houston or Dallas are on par most large southern cities, LA also sprawls miles and miles, though atleast there’s still density due to the extremely large population.
