This is prime farm ground that is being taken out of commission. It seems every new house has got about one acre to 5 acre lots. It doesn't take many to fill a square mile. I am sure this is just as bad as destroying or utilizing wetlands. Even in this rural community where I live every house has at least an acre lot.
