Agreed. It's low density sprawl that separates us from our food. If we stopped eating up farmland with cookie cutter subdivisions, we would have food close to the city. Let's grow people in cities, not tomatoes. And again, if we did have that farmland, there'd be little need for high-rise farming except for specialized high value crops.
