I’m all for it in the right circumstances …. Don’t want to live in one myself but urban sprawl is a major killer of prime AG land here. The standard sub division of 1/4 ac lots where everyone has a front and backyard takes 1000’s of acres out of AG production every year…. Adds to wasted water, commute times, pollution, etc.
Cities need to build up not out….. Thankfully our county BOD put in place a requirement that any land converted from AG zoning to residential or commercial requires that the owner puts twice as much land in a AG lands trust that will preserve it (at least until some new politicians that own such land find a way to break it) 🥴
