There's plenty of space to spread out, it's not like this is a hard thing to find. Yet those areas tend to not be nearly as productive, and they have far fewer amenities for living.
If that's your thing, great, do it, you have your pick of geographies because nearly all of the US is empty space. But if that's not what a person wants, and instead they appreciate the things that humans can create and do for each other when there are many nearby, there are very very few locations available, the are all extremely pricy because the supply has been artificially constrained by reggulations of people who live in cities, but apparently don't want to live in cities.
