"You cannot think any place to remote to be bulldozed."

The fact is that most of the habitable rural United States is already thickly populated. I live in Vermont. With the exception of the higher elevations of the Green Mountains, which get too damned cold for most people to endure, the rest of the so called rural areas have very few stretches where there aren't houses around every turn in the road. The same is true for most of the northeast. From what I've seen that also holds for most of the South, Midwest and west coast.

It's only in desert areas of the west or parts of the Dakotas, Wyoming and Montana that are just too far from amenitie for most people's comfort, that the country is under-populated

Yes, yes, too true.

I love New England, and I always had it in the back of my mind that I might buy a large bit of land along the Maine coast on which to retire.

I recently did a quick check of the price of land there--I was shocked.

The high prices was all I needed to realize that even up there, the place must be crowded.

And I'll bet I know how that came about: Probably all the rich media liberals who tell the average American how glorious immigration is, take the cash they make and buy estates along the shore, so they can flee the hell holes immigration and crowding is making of the places the average American must live.
