No doubt what you say is true. I grew up in Northern KY and despite it being a "suburb" of Cincinnati, there used to be a lot of wooded areas and open fields only 15 miles south of downtown. And I'm not even 30 years old. Now not so much. Back in the day they got rid of wilderness for farming and people a decade later would wonder "Where are all of the trees?". Now they look around and even the farms are now replaced with mini malls and extended stay hotels. I guess this makes farms the new wilderness???. I live in east central KY now and anyone I've talked to that's into real estate tells me that buying the land between here and Cincy or Louisville will be profitable. Why? Because in 20-30 years the ninety mile stretches of highway between cities will simply become run-together de-facto metropolitain areas. In freaking Kentucky, not SoCal. If it applies in an area that is sometimes considered the pinnacle of the boondocks, bet that it'll sprawl out anywhere within a hundred miles or so of any major city. People are just scared to death of the niles, I guess. I read somewhere amid all of this hysteria that a Florida meth dealer had niles guarding his lab. What a bunch of absolute nonsense. I guess that means my ackie and tegus will viciously protect my home while I'm away at work. Sorry for the rant, y'all. Just touched a bit of a nerve.
