We have infrastructure in the heartland.
We have good roads, bridges, electric utilities, locks, dams, rivers, coal mines,timber, natural gas plants, oil and gas wells,oil and gas storage, grain storage, railroads, airports, schools, banks, investment brokers, clean air, plentiful clean water, clean air, huge tracts, both public and private, used for recreation, productive crop land,world class hospitals, medical clinics,low crime rates, manufacturing.
The land isn't really *empty*. It is being used to feed the world, provide commodities, as investment, manufacturing and as spacious living areas. People here live in peace, quiet and healthful conditions.
There are other lifestyles than cookie cutter suburbs, high rise condos and high rise public housing.
Is that a gross population increase, or is it net deaths and emigrants?

So build another city. But until then, we're packed. It's about an hour drive from Baltimore city to the PA line. There are now developments for the entire span.

You know what else is nice about the heartland? A long drive (about 2-4 hours) get's you to a completely different part of the country. In the "densly populated" eastern and western parts of the country, 2-4 hours gets you home from work.
