It's all about scale. ATL and Houston are more comparable, while LA metro is about 3 times as large. Quite frankly, many cities do this but in terms of metros less than 10 million, does any city have larger edge cities within 5, 10 miles of DT? How many cities did this without the guidance of public transit or planning? It's the chicken and egg of SSP, build an edge city out of thin air and see what happens.
