Nothing should be being built out there - not housing, not businesses, nothing, because such locations only work by car.
We need to concentrate the development of housing as well as business in the denser, walkable areas.
Motorsport race tracks seem to be a magnet for misplaced houses, build a track way out in the "boonies", and in a matter of years, they end up being surrounded by housing tracts. Then the tracks either end up getting shut down for noise pollution, or forced into spending excessive amounts of money in noise reduction expenditures, due to complaints of noise from the new neighbors
