These two images are typical rural sprawl compared with Central Manhattan, on the exact same scale. Now I'm not an expert on these matters, but something tells me pollution, traffic and logistical problems would be much, much worse is everyone had their own plot of land.

    Small farmers, especially the old stubborn ones, can pollute the shit out of the local area.

    Glyphosate used to reckless degrees. Old vehicles leaking oil into the ground. Burning garbage. That's just 3 off the top of my head.
