And I hope you keep writing about it. Land use is absolutely vital not just for housing and economic issues, but also for energy, water, and ecological issues. For example peatlands store up to twice as much carbon as all the world's forests, so when coastal and real estate developments along with agricultural expansion collectively destroy all these peatlands, we end up throwing so much carbon and other pollutants to the atmosphere. That's just scratching the surface. So anyway, keep going!
Thank you for the encouragement! And you're absolutely right! Land use has HUGE environmental effects. My thought has been that we should build densely in urban areas so that we can avoid building on the outskirts and so that we can have areas that we can put in conservation to protect.
