Looking at Google Maps, there are like 40 miles of very low exurban development between the denser suburbs of Boston and Worcester. Same between Boston and southern New Hampshire and Boston and Providence. It's not like those New England big plots are endangered species. They'll be there forever.
So it's not harmful to allow denser developments if the owners want so, specially now when Boston metro area is growing near double-digit/decade.
