Ah, the solutions to that are very simple, and would result in
more land being available for future generations:

1. Implement a child tax for people with more than two children and
   stop giving people tax breaks for having children. Give people tax
   breaks for not having children.
2. Do away with religions dogma that makes people believe that it's ok
   to go forth and multiply like rabits, flies, etc.
3. Intitute a ban on the building of new houses, unless for the purpose of
   replacement. Ban the building of business parks and other such commercial
   development that's destroying the woodlands and farms that we have left.
   Halt all new road construction.
4. Reduce immigration by at least 95 percent.
5. Spay and geld all illegal immigrants; then send them back home.

and...

6. Have a revolution and then elect me to be the king. If elected, I
   promise that hacking shall be encouraged and promoted, and that PERQs,
   PDP-11/45s --- or at least blinken-light equipped, faster,
   and modern pseudo-equivalents of them, valved radios, audio amplifiers
   and large automobiles shall be manufactured in plentiful supply.
   ...and in addition, I'll not tax farm land. :-)
