> US is one of the least densely populated developed countries

None of the other developed countries have vast interior deserts. The east and west coasts and some parts of the Mississippi and Great Lakes watersheds are plenty overpopulated.

This is typical "flyover state" bull. The Midwest has tons of water, tons of space, easy travel, great amenities, and a business friendly environment. Colleges are affordable, housing is affordable, and crime is relatively low. But the in crowd has decided that the East and West coast are all that exists, and that everything else is a "vast interior desert."
Other than Australia...
