If driving 2 hours a day means RIGHT NOW getting a near-acre of forest, good local school options, pleasant amenities, low crime, modest taxes & costs, and all the other desirable factors, then so be it.
You can try to manipulate & fight for long term results in undesirable areas; be my guest. I have a life to live and family to raise RIGHT NOW. And if you use police power of the state to herd us into your cattle cars and pens, you won’t like the pushback. You may think those cattle pens are very nice, but we don’t and will not consent.
My family’s fair share of this planet’s land surface is ~20 acres. I intend to acquire it.

That has to be one of the best posts that I’ve read, ever, on this site. Even better than mine.
