Not sure to whom your are speaking, but not awful in NorCal.
http://narcc.org will show you (wash your mouse, keyboard and hands
afterwords, quite dense in bovine fertilizer and politics).
Many of the systems are intertied (IRLP or RF) so the limited coverage
area works pretty well for channel re-use not so far away (Bay Area,
reuse in the Sac area etc.).
WAAAY OT now; I'm done... ;o)

As the repeater coordinator for Montana I can tell you there very few
VHF/UHF pairs available here, and none in the western half of the state.
There are many users of the 70 MHZ spectrum, too.

Another example of how mileage may vary...
Apparently you haven't been to California (lately). One can't get a
two
meter frequency to put up a repeater pretty much anywhere (even
though the
band may appear to be dead) and six is pretty full too. 420-450 is
disallowed over much of the state (150 miles circumference from
Beale/PavePaws)... Not a wasteland, just ham politics; often downright
ugly.
10M has open repeater slots; 220 is near capacity in some areas.
At least until recently, the CHP has been using 70 MHz for site linking
but that may fade away since they're in the middle of a huge
rebuild/remodel of their spectrum.
And there are still low power TV stations using either digital or
analog
back in that range too... Typically minority language, Hallelujah or
Sellavision channels, but the bottom line is: 4M won't happen here.

With 2m and 6m FM repeaters a virtual wasteland what impetus does
the FCC
have to give us an allocation at 70MHz?
Just because region 1 and 3 have it?
None, we don't use what we got.
