Building sprawling housing tracts over the fields and valleys that supply so much of the nation's food, and exhausting our groundwater to do so, is finally becoming controversial.

I attended Fresno State College in CA in the mid-70's. Fresno touted itself as the "All American City". Indeed. If by all American you mean an ugly sprawling mess. Even then I was appalled by the rapid urbanization of some of the best agricultural land in the world. But maybe now the bigger problem is adequate water supplies to irrigate the lands already under production. Sustainability? Bah, onward to entropic collapse!
