That's a really nice example of an American suburb too, but I'd still call that sprawl and not the Japanese one.

I'm not arguing that Japan is the metric by which one defines good, if they have sprawl they have sprawl, but I don't think Tokyo has a lot-

Yeah, I hear this--but there's a clear concept of *extent* in sprawl which is misleading, and density is less the issue than walkability
