I also know that "Urban Sprawl" REALLY concerns liberals.. They view it as people taking their money and escaping.. Leaving the poor city with no revenue to provide for the least among us!!!!

Al Gore made mention of this numerous times and I never really understood the concern.. It's beginning to become more clear.

Their coalitions center in and around major population centers. They would lose much of their influence without them.

For example, a few heavily populated areas drag Illinois around by the nose..
