That's great to be able to buy enough land for a runway. Where I live it

Um, well, have you flown over the Midwest? Outside of the cities --
which are relatively few, and far between -- there are thousands of
square miles of farmland and forest.

I don't think we'll be worrying about "urban sprawl" in the Midwest for
a few hundred years, soonest.

And by then the urban folks will be gone as they will have starved from
lack of food from the farms in the midwest that are no longer... :-)
