You may disagree but the evidence is against you.

The evidence is that we can put everybody in this country in a single-family-detached home on acreage in Texas and leave the rest of the country unpopulated if we wanted to do so.

The problem with your argument is that FARMS are being converted to urban plots. Not every plot of land can be planted because of terrain or just poor soil.

The country has a limit amount of GOOD farmland and it it the flat well drained acres that developers love most cause it is easier to cram lots of crappy houses upon.

And once good farmland is put under asphalt it is gone forever.
