^ nice pic of Florida! You can see metro Miami's rigid grid pattern along with the SW coast as well. Orlando & Atlanta look like the sprawling blobs that they are radiating in all directions. For being the largest city in Florida , Jacksonville looks very small.

Maybe it is the angle, but Jax still does have quite a bit of rural land away from the urban core.

Jacksonville looks exactly how I would expect a Metro with only 1.3 million people to look. Where as Miami looks like a Metro with 5.5 million people. Jacksonville might have the biggest population, but 1.3 million is pretty small, making it only the 40th largest metro in the Nation, where as Miami is comfortably sitting at 8th.

I love Miami's highly structured lay out. It just seems so carefully thought out, I love it!

You have the Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean to thank for that. The Everglades store up huge amounts of fresh water. If we pave over them, we're screwed.

LOL so much for copypasting the NASA notes!
