How come the west cost has hardly any houses built outside of massive towns? Whereas the east cost is sprawing out.
Federally protected lands are on the West Coast, a good chunk of all of those states is just either national Parks, national wilderness areas, or BLM lands.
That's exactly what's going on between the Rockies and Sierra Nevada in the Great Basin. But, west of the Sierra Nevada, on the coast, the paradigm changes entirely.
