Possibly. I think part of it is cultural though. My wife grew up in a little Midwestern town with 2,000 people. It's got this perfect little 10x10 street grid, because the townspeople wanted to be prepared for when it became a bustling metropolis. I think some people see development as a source of pride, and others are more whimsical and see it as losing the character of the community. And I don't think the mix of those attitudes is uniform across the country.
