"There is no "sprawl." The only sprawl that exists is that vast expanse of space between the two ears of the smarxist growth purveyors.
And if you want to preserve farmland or forest, buy it"

Good point.
The idea of privately buying forest and farmland to preserve it is an impossible concept to impress on the moldy liberal mind; their real agenda is to see goverment control of all private property - fascism. That's the real agenda behind smarxist growth, new urbanism and all the socialist "isms" they try to force on us.
When I bought my current property, the first action I took was to buy enough property around me so I'd have a bit of leg room.
That's individual action, and the collectivist goosesteppers don't like that.
