Pretty Pictures
Can't tell if this is completely true with simple observation, but what both the fairly dense and less dense places seem to have in common is their isolation from any retail.
I get why people like the less dense places. Some people like a bit of land and a bit of isolation. It's the quite dense but with no benefits of density places which confuse me.

Punk'd
After all this time, journalists are still covering for the fact that they let O'Keefe punk them the first time.
Peek inside our Friday afternoon mini “film fests”
When you work here, one of the most frequently asked questions from friends and acquaintances is, “So, do you get to watch YouTube videos all day at work?”
Unfortunately, the answer’s no, but we do gobble up latest memes and must-see videos just as much as anyone else in the YouTube community. And every couple weeks, we do this gobbling (nom nom nom!) together, during our mini “YouTube Film Fest.”
We start with a fresh Google Moderator to collect and rank staff submissions. Employees add and vote on all their favorite videos until the date of the next film fest. As with YouTube itself, our fests draw from a diverse array of tastes and experiences. At any given showing, you might expect to see weird science, feats of endurance, shocking optical illusions and, of course, adorable pets.
If it’s a busy couple weeks and the Moderator’s looking slim, no problem. I just search company Buzz to find out what people are watching, liking and sharing. I curate these YouTube videos to create the Film Fest playlist. Then, come Friday afternoon, I cook up some popcorn, fill a cooler with drinks, draw the shades and hit “Play All.” The new playlist bar streamlines the viewing experience, so videos play continuously and/or we can quickly and easily jump ahead to the next clip.
What about you? Do you ever host YouTube viewing parties? How do they work? What tools do you use, and where do you archive your playlists? Tell us in the comments below (though please note comments are moderated due to spam).

Deficiencies
All just mistakes and technicalities.
A top federal bank regulator said Thursday that he has directed seven of the nation's largest lenders to review their foreclosure processes after learning about the widespread mishandling of homeowner evictions by the industry.
John Walsh, acting director of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, told lawmakers during a hearing on the financial regulatory overhaul enacted this summer that some lenders "clearly had deficiencies" in their system for foreclosures.
Bust Heads
I have no idea what Rahm does or doesn't know about urban policy, but I think the press tends to see the chief qualification of a local chief executive as being somebody who can go in there and bust the right heads and diminish the power of entrenched interests. As a resident of my particular urban hellhole I won't say there's nothing to this particular qualification, as there are in fact a lot of entrenched interests who are a drain on things, but it isn't the only qualification.
Slowing Down The Foreclosure Mills
Then how about starting to arrest people.
Evictions are expected to slow sharply, housing analysts said, as state and national law enforcement officials shine a light on questionable foreclosure methods revealed by two of the country’s biggest home lenders in the last two weeks.
Even lenders with no known problems are expected to approach defaulting homeowners more cautiously and look more aggressively for resolutions short of outright eviction.
