  1. That's a very narrow and shallow view of the topic. Suburbs date back at least as far as Roman times, where they were generally quite close to the city's walls and gates. Even in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, streetcar suburbs were located close to central business districts. Sprawling suburban and exurban development patterns began to emerge in the 1920s when privately owned automobiles became affordable. Wealth flight became a broader middle class phenomenon after World War II, as rates of violent crime increased in urban neighborhoods.

  2. Reasonable question for you: Why would or should the Constitution mention cities? It's not a blueprint for urban design, it's a blueprint for a federal government and a delineation of rights. Cities and farms have nothing to with anything in this context. That's up to state and local governments.

  3. TJ was mostly right. Most of America is still rural. It HAS to be since it requires nearly 2 acres of arable land to feed each and every person who selfishly intends to NOT DIE.
