(154,021 posts)This attitude is exactly what bugs back country rural citizens and why we get talks of secession from mostly urban counties every so often. Yup, that talk just started in mine, like schedule.
There has to be a balance between the needs of urban and rural areas. Though in reality there will be losers in this, and it will be rural nine out of ten times. (It's got to do with politics and influence and yes, some racism)
But I am positive the environmental impact report did not use the words useless land, or useless desert anywhere. I have read a few of those, and that is not a usual phrase. You too can download then and read them. They are a cure for insomnia by the way.
You might think it is useless, but it is a biome preceding humans on this earth by millions of years, and our actions on land have actually accelerated the process of desertification.
