"...It was like having acid thrown in my face every time I passed the city limits. Not just the industrial farming but the sprawl, the sprawl, the sprawl. Low-density development is the worst. And SUV's everywhere, snowmobiles everywhere, Jet Skis everywhere, ATV's everywhere, two-acre lawns everywhere. The goddamned green monospecific chemical-drenched lawns." - Jonathan Franzen, Freedom
