Re-purposing farmland for housing is not a good idea. Increased housing means increased population and at the same time reducing the means to feed that population. We need to find other ways/areas to increase housing without impacting our ability to produce our own food. This will also indirectly contribute to an increase in cost for farmland, cost of food, and force us to further rely on imported food products subject to transportation disruption, impacts of global food and water scarcity and political instability.
