BTW nice see another person from Tampa here.
I've been pondering this and have realized that it is a regional issue. For example, in Denver, there is a 500 (5700 feet to 5200 feet) foot drop between where I work and the Platte river about 10 miles away...and that's the flat part of Colorado. I forget that other places in the country don't have those kinds of drops.
