That is to say, it's all about population density, cultural hub,
all about the much-touted "redneck revenge" on the "liberal elite"
for unleashing, I suppose, small European cars and artisan cheese
and "Queer Eye" and "The West Wing" on them without their express
written consent. It is, in short, all about Retro vs. Metro.
