What the catnip is a stroad?

That is, if it's the one I'm thinking of, a road in the middle of nowhere. It's basically an oversized truck stop. So yeah, everything is going to be kind of crammed together to keep it as close to the highway as possible. It's the modern equivalent of an inn with a stable. It provides a place to rest and necessary services.

Dude's an idiot. That's not a town that's been decimated by Teh Evulz of Kapitalism. It exists solely to service travelers. People who have been driving for hours are not going to want to walk a lot.

The hilarity of someone like the youtuber trying to say the above picture is an example of evil capitalism while they want everyone to live in a dense open air shopping mall

If anything the above picture is actually a good example of an area that remains relatively untouched by the excesses of capitalism. Its rural all around it there in Breezewood PA
