Beginner Gardening: would you grow black locust trees?, 1 by donnerville

I grew this locust trees from seed in 2005. It is about 9' - 10' tall now, but has not started to bloom yet. I only found out recently that this tree spreads like crazy.

Can any one share some experience with me about this tree? I live in a planned community. Although the yard is over an acre, there isn't room for trees to grow wild... How difficult is it to control the spreading? The tree is now only about 5' away from a brick walkway. Should I cut it down :-( Can I move it?

Thank you.
