The word “open space” hadn’t enter the collective conscious yet.

I guess you've never heard of the Pine Barrens — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_Barrens_(New_Jersey)

1,100,000 acres of forested land, most of it preserved by the federal government for emergency use. In the event of a catastrophe, it contains 17,000,000,000,000 (that's 17 trillion, with a "T") gallons of the most pure water in the nation.




I know them very well. And they were never called "open space". They were called state forests.
