Yeah, in that f'd up chew up the farmland sprawly kind of way. This day in age with climate change and with a bigger scientific understanding of how the human species has directly impacted the earth (and by extension how the earth is becoming less hospitable to our species)... is it smart to force people to drive to go shopping and smart to destroy our farmland so that we have to import food from abroad (more driving, more oil usage)?
