This isn't the case at all. While there are a good deal of horse farms, there are some pretty big cities too. Where I'm from, Lexington, everything revolves around the downtown area. Surrounding downtown, there are a ton of subdivisions. My average commute to high school one way was around 20 minutes from one of these subdivisions. Yes, the Lexington community is the perfect example of urban sprawl. Traffic can get bad at times, but that's just poor city planning.
I wouldn't have it any other way though. Ten minutes from my house will usually get me anywhere I need to be. Grocery stores, gas stations, movie theaters, the library, a multitude of fast food places, and pretty much anything else you can think of.
Most of the subdivisions are filled with cookie cutter houses, but in the older parts of Lexington there are houses with a lot of character.
Overall, Lexington is a nice place to live. The traffic isn't nearly as bad as the bigger cities and there are plenty of places to go out and enjoy nature.
Sure there are some cons, like not being within walking distance of a lot of places. On the other hand, one is just a short drive from practically anything which I find is a lot more convenient.
