Shakes head, dunno what to say goldfish.

So farmers who want to sell their land because suburban lands are beginning to encroach is a design scenario we want to work to? Wouldnt it be better if farmers were closer in to distribution areas, so that they can sell their crops without freight costs being their driving factor? Wouldnt it be better if their land was so profitable that they wouldnt WANT to sell for a one time gain? Wouldn't it be better if the agro business wasnt one of scale where only the monsantos of the world can make a liveable profit?

This does not impede anyone from building out a house in rural areas, what it does do is stop developers from building subdivisions outside of the core area just because the land is cheap, and not contributing to the mitigation of future problems.
