Not just Colorado! I live in a state that's pretty much middle of the pack for size and density, and there's no shortage of open land around here. No water concerns, either, with plenty of rainfall.

I think the economic history of the past few decades (at least) has been one of trading away resilience for higher efficiency; bigger and more geographically centralized economic engines that are more efficient, but are more vulnerable to shocks, as the recent supply-chain issues have shown.
Covid and its aftereffects may reverse that trend.
