The eternal issue, people see these rural areas and go "Oh how quaint! Lets live here!". Then they proceed to destroy the very things that attracted them. "Oh, these farms are smelly, and these animals are noisy. Can't have that." Lets move to the woods and cut all the trees down, then move to the desert and suck all the water up to force the landscape to look like a golf course.

I remember a comedian said "Real estate developments are named after the thing they destroyed when they built it, like "Beaver Creek" or "Oak Woods".
