Demand for it. I know, it sucks but Americans like it I suppose. The funny thing is that a place like Cape Coral is actually growing fast. Grew between 3-4% between 2019 and 2022. Fort Myers as well.
Retirees or folks seeking that Florida life.
Its a colossal waste of space. People also like the canals, the water.
Suburbs can be done right but I'm not a fan of the Florida style. If your going to do a suburb, do it like some of the ones in the Northeast with character. The Saddle River or Short Hills or Darien (CT) of the world.
Suburbs with character are great and there are many examples, but also many examples of terrible ones. One's that only dementia patients would appreciate, like Cape Coral.
Now I realize its a city but is it really? To me, its a giant suburb.
Some great urban planning to burn the eyes with:
