CHAPTER SEVEN: The Bypassed East


Sorry to say that according to the textbook the bypassed east only comprised of northern New England and the Adirondacks of New York. The Bypassed East is near, even astride, major routeways, but not on them. Ocean transportation can easily bypass the region, putting it in a transportation shadow that has produced slow regional economic growth and even stagnation.
Southern New England is a part of metropolitan America. Northern New England, for the most part, is not. It is much more like Canada's Atlantic Provinces. There is no relevence to San Francisco.
