The current program is deliberately designed for single-family houses only. <br /><br />Out of one side of their mouths they complain how unsustainable single-family housing is, and out of the other side of their mouths they say that in order to get a special place to put recyclable material, you have to have a single-family house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19601020.post-59305502444629242042010-09-12T20:57:18.112-04:002010-09-12T20:57:18.112-04:00Well by that logic I can't be green because ev...Well by that logic I can't be green because everything I consume comes from outside my body. I can't photosynthesize personally.<br /><br />I fear these sorts of grants are not spent wisely. I love NoDa but the only thing that counts will be the light bulbs. It's already bike friendly, and it's too shady for many solar water heaters except on the business properties.Jumperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794110173836133321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19601020.post-42542734249131814582010-09-09T22:27:19.119-04:002010-09-09T22:27:19.119-04:00There is no way a condo can ever be "green.&q...There is no way a condo can ever be "green."<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />Because EVERYTHING needed for life is brought in from the outside - water, food, energy, etc. At least in the 'burbs there is a chance to live somewhat off the surrounding land in the community, but not in a high rise crackerbox condo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19601020.post-49635691250632868642010-09-09T22:25:51.798-04:002010-09-09T22:25:51.798-04:00Hey Mary, why no report on one of Kotkin's lat...Hey Mary, why no report on one of Kotkin's latest articles: "Urban Legends: Why Suburbs, Not Dense Cities, are the Future" - http://www.newgeography.com/content/001722-urban-legends-why-suburbs-not-dense-cities-are-futurePseudothyrumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19601020.post-73443685340442880482010-09-09T21:52:02.901-04:002010-09-09T21:52:02.901-04:00My neighborhood is going green without the need o...My neighborhood is going green without the need of a taxpayer hand out and supporting the economy as well!
