These are disparate communities that have very poor connectivity and interaction with the core city. e.g. Barrie (Allendale Waterfront GO) has just 5 trains per day to Union, of which just 3 arrive before 0900 and none departing Barrie after 0908 – in the morning! You see similar poor connectivity and interaction even within sprawling urban areas where people are connected by sprawl but little else.
