There must be over 100 pokestops downtown. I parked about 100m away from where I was going and I hit 5 pokestops before I got there.
it's insane (and a big part of why I think the game will stagnate for anyone who isn't in an highly urban environment).
I hit more pokestops and pokemon in a 10 minute wander than I do in my 2 hour dog walks around my house.

By rare, I am moreso talking about powerful pokemon. It's mainly just Dragonite and Aerodactyl and perhaps one or two more at PIP.
Honestly IMO, I think after about level 12-15, you don't really need to grind anymore. You're high enough level that you've unlocked great balls to catch pokemon and pokemon can be a decent level. You can easily achieve level 15 after about 6-8 hours total at Research park or Prince's Island. You might even be able to shave off a few hours if you maximize the use of your lucky egg and just evolve a ton of common pokemon/new pokemon discovered (due to evolutions) etc.
Or... you can just farm all those 3 locations for a few weeks and collect I guess... but that's not as fun as just getting to a decent level and slowly amass the remainder of the pokemon.
Speed runners and completionists were not as common when the game first came out and IMO that attitude is slowly ruining games for me.
Using the above method, I am at level 16 with probably about 8-9 hours played total. I don't open my game unless it's some new area I haven't explored and I find it fun in that way. Turning the game into a grind, sucks. But put in a small grind so that most of the game is available to you, then play casually? Excellent way to play IMO. (I didn't rage as hard as some friends when the servers were down yesterday)
