I don't get it, what has Chicago have to do with corn fields? Or was that the point?

Great place to visit but not exactly a good yardstick(meter-stick). It's #51 of 52 for density, and contains some of the country's best scenery.

Not suitable? Only because there is no employment. Not suitable for traditional self sufficient agriculture, but if someone built an office/factory needing employees, anywhere, certainly infrastructure for housing and services can be built. Hell, they're figuring out how to do it on Mars.
