Excerpt from Traffic, Interstate Commerce and Transportation
Population follows the lines of least resistance. It naturally seeks an outlet where means of transportation are the best and most available. Where there are no adequate means of transportation the population will be sparse - in civilized countries at least. In the wake of population comes wealth. This may not be true as to such countries as China and India, but it does apply with full force to enlightened countries like the United States and Canada, where the great bulk of the people are producers, or wealth makers.
