That's what happens in a tight economy.
Landowners don't want to pay tax on vacant lots; developers take bribes/bungs/sweetners from government and build 'low cost housing'......of varying quality in the hope it'll attract 'working poor' with mortgages they can afford.

@Picklebobble2 in this area I think those farm owners are older and I'm willing to bet they had an offer from a land developer to sell and they took it.
That's my guess anyway. Let them offer me money. Only way a developer is getting land I live on is over my dead body.

@twiigss Fair comment. Getting old is hard when you're poor. Maybe they'd had enough and couldn't see the current farce ending any time soon and just thought maybe they'd retire and try and enjoy life for a while.

@Picklebobble2 we live on like 2 acres, no farm land but it's a lot to have to mow.
