    Is the land the livestock are currently using capable of supporting dense housing and is it close to urban cores. Or would you just build sky scrapers in the middle of nowhere, because China tried that and it failed.

      Anything in the Netherlands is close to an urban core.

      They also have centuries of experience on building on lands that shouldn’t be capable of supporting dense housing. Amsterdam used to be a literal swamp as well (I’m not making any statements on its current status).

        Haha I like your disclaimer, as it was indeed very inviting to reply with a “still a swamp” :)
