Even New York is mostly empty. Have you ever been out of the city? I think the problem is you're assuming that the population must be zero. But it's quite possible to purchase a large tract of rural land with little agricultural value, nobody living nearby, and good ground water conditions and build a landfill there.
- midoridensha 4y agoI think you're completely overestimating how much land is available in eastern states with "nobody living nearby". I've never seen any such land, at all. There's always someone living there. Go look up the population of any county in any east-coast state; it's not zero. You're also completely overestimating the amount of rural land with "little agricultural value" in the eastern states; any such land is usually a wetland, and protected for good reason. The only places I've ever seen with "nobody living nearby" were in western states: Utah, Arizona, etc. It's not economical to ship trash from NY to AZ.
