It was weird to see Elegant well maintained rowhouses, next to old abandoned boarded up rowhouses, next to brand new modern rowhouses that had been designed both as modern and also to fit in with the 250 year old ones (that part was cool). I guess what I'm saying is that every place is different, and while SLC is not the model of urbanity, it does just fine when compared to other cities its size, with different strengths and weaknesses.

My understanding is that the entire combined total population of Metro Richmond, which includes all connected areas as pictured below would be approx. 1.2 million. Where as the combined population of the Metro Wasatch is over 2.2 million. We would'nt leave Ogden or Provo off of the Wasatch population any more than we would leave Petersburg off of the Richmond Metro.
