I thought the US was 90% empty space with a few yokels in between and some fuckhueg cities at the coasts.

Where I live in southern Alabama or as I like to call it: God's confederate rectum, this is the case. There isn't shit out here.
Im about two hours east. Its mostly farming communities out here.Mobile is a pretty active city I hear. I remember it from the fact that the guy who wrote "With the Old Breed", Eugene Sledge, the book the tv-series "The Pacific" is based on is from there. Good writer and good book.
Hassknecht,
if you look at a map of US, it seems to me that the eastern half is pretty 'built', roads criss crossing in a kind of city pattern even where there isn't much anything. The western half is still emptier. You know there are abandoned decent sized towns in US with the whole town, buildings, main street, town hall, police station, sever system, etc. When a factory closes or something people just go "ok, time to go elsewhere". Not much sense of purpose or history or valuing the nature in US, it's just about making a buck.
