Is it not good for housing?
- fipple 8y agoNot really, because it’s not near any jobs.
- CorpOverreach 8y agoIsn't that a bit of a catch-22 though? It's not near any jobs because... there's no one out there. Why would you start a business there?
- mandelbrotwurst 8y agoChicken or the egg, eh?
- maxerickson 8y agoChicken, egg, resource or harbor.
- fipple 8y agoThere are no jobs out there because it’s not a good place to urbanize. Settlement usually requires some combination of natural resources, navigable waterways, fresh water, protection from weather, protection from attack, or other inherent traits. The cattle grazing land in the middle of the country doesn’t have any of these.
- gweinberg 8y agoThere's a bunch of grazing land in the bay area. It tends to be really hilly. Not hilly like where we live, but seriously hilly. Besides, we need the open space. Can't have houses everywhere, this isn't LA.
- jschwartzi 8y agoYou could put all the factories and jobs you want out there and I still wouldn't have anything to do with the tract home nightmare that would create.
