As Brownwood gets built up along with Wildwood, we need to have some open air space. Otherwise, we start looking like one long strip mall ...yuck...and one of the most striking parts of TV is going from residential to shopping to rural. It is actually what attracted this citified suburbanite to the prospect of TV. I love to go across Rolling Acres as a poster above said and see the billy goats and the horses and the fields and the big sky along with cows and one very cantankerous bull.

Frederick Olmstead who designed and created Central Park in NYC felt the constant bustle of so many people in one place would create a less than optimal mental health status so actually built the park to be the place to unwind...I can't imagine NY without the park..it is the free zoloft.. I do hope we won't turn into just endless streets of endless people and endless houses and endless shopping. The open space is our Central Park.

Of course, they could put in a couple dog parks which would help
Um...Shes...We have the golf courses. And we do need groceries. And stuff. We could start building tall buildings like New York but people need things and you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
