The problem is: it makes growing food on our expensive land unprofitable and so we will loose all that farm land to more houses, then when transport..

costs or international conflict makes importing difficult where the hell are we going to get our food.
you know cities tend to grow up around good harbors and good farm land. then they pave the best land for houses. LA was settled because it was great farm land.
here in the pnw there is a town called Fife which was a volcanic run off marsh land so good you could plow it with a butterknife, grow anything, soil very deep, now paved with huge warehouses.
