    Looking at China’s provincial capitals and EU’s capitals, they all look like they hoovered up all the population around them, why doesn’t that happen in the US? Lemme guess…car culture?

      No its just completely wrong theory. Population centers are usually on the edge of the state and capitals are deliberately kept in the geographic center of the state. If the population center isn’t on the edge then its in the capitol.
