Re: "The US Forest Service wants rules to ban road construction in 40 million to 60 million acres of federal forest land. The American Forest & Paper Association says locking up this land would take 1.4 billion boardfeet of lumber off the market. That amount could build nearly 1 million homes."

That's fine by me. I'm all for that. We don't need to keep building new homes and expanding metropolitan areas, i.e., as is happening in Atlanta and many other cities today. We need to focus more on restoring our inner cities and preserving our greenspace between urban and rural areas. We need more urban pioneers, less suburban pioneers.

Where do you stand on the issue of urban sprawl?
