From the sound of this there might be a lot of low income housing on the block for folks that can't afford to drive 90 miles a day. Although theres probably folks who find this esthetically appealing like me who love the surroundings. But I'm not particularly interested in a desert view location at this time. I'm rather fond of the silos, church steeples and water towers of the U.S. Midwest not to mention the power pole wires and mailboxes along the roadways. I guess its all necessary. There are a few wind mills and turbine farms I like to sit and watch but there out in the countryside. It seems this story is about the needs of urban and rural living and where they meet. -Mark H.
