If you look at the United States, most of the country is pretty much uninhabited.
It is never very crowded at the front.
Wyoming - God bless you in Wyoming - it's very boring, and it's the most isolated place on Earth.
The foyers now look ridiculously small to us because not all that many people used them.
Canada is a vast and empty country.
I suppose the place where I live is fairly remote, it would seem remote to some people.
Of course, Texas is so huge it really is empty places; people can easily drive an hour and a half to work every day, so even if they're actually living in the suburbs, it sure feels as if they're in a remote location.
It would be better if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile, as where I live.
