Suburbia May Be Hazardous To Your Health

The bad news, according to a new study by the Rand Corporation, is that the suburbs can make you sick. As this article in the Washington Post reports, people living in more densely populated areas reportedly suffered more illness, such as arthritis, asthma, stomach problems, headaches and urinary tract infections, than those living on more open land. The good news is that they won’t make you crazy. There was no correlation between mental health problems and population density.
