The brownish areas are those covered by high-res satellite photos. The green areas have much lower resolution. Now way to make out individual houses in the green areas

What I don't understand is: why the **** is it that they manage to surround Montreal with high-res areas, but they barely manage to touch the island at all (where most of the people live).

Wouldn't you think that they'd try to cover the areas with highest population density first?

True, but you couldn't make the shadows fall the wrong way. No way are the shadows gong to fall south, so which direction the shadows fall is the U.S.

KrazyHorse, you can try http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ . I got great results from it for my neck of woods. Although, I could not distinguish individual houses and such.

what are you talking about? the shadow is correct, the original photo is the correct one and hasnt been flipped - the sun is always on the south side, so the shadows would be on the north side.

On the US side they can afford to water some of their grass. If you look at everything other than the bullring on the Mexican side it's all very cluttered. Then there's the bullring itself - not big enough to be a baseball or football stadium.

Since I live about 20 minutes from where that picture was taken I can tell you the Mexican side is the one with the all the houses on it. The US side has nothing there because it is Border Field State Park and the Taijuana River County Park. Unfortunately, illegal aliens camp out there and their camp fires end up burning out of control on a fairly regular basis. That's why nothing is growing there.

Form the better economy, duh.

What you are seeing in the photo is urban planning and open space being preserved on one side while the other side has no building zones or building codes which are enforced so you get uncontrolled urban sprawl and shanty towns. Believe it or not that's some of the best parts of TJ right there.

When it isn't burned down it looks something like this photo taken at Torrey Pines State Park about 20 miles up the coast.

That's uncontrolled urban sprawl? The average European city could only be envious at such orderliness.
