It would be nice if people could spread out, but the West being a primary social area is caused by the game's design. That's where rooms that you can rent are at their cheapest, which causes players without properties to congregate there. Since that means that there's going to be an amount of people likely to hang out there, that means that other people will want to be there because that's where a lot of the potential partners or people to socialize with will be.
It's been this way for so long that it's unlikely to change, but the possibility might exist if other locations had equally accessible renting available. For example, if the hotel had prices matching the motel for free to play rooms and the distribution of rooms was different, you could probably get players to hang out in both of those zones instead out of necessity. Money is a resource that most players have to earn, so they're going to be stingy about acquiring rooms that they need to play the game if possible.
