  Another reason good urbanism and walkability is super important: the emissions don’t just come from the cars, they come from the excess roads themselves, too.

    Their intention was to bolster the economy with busy work, but that’s not a long term solution.

        That’s comparing Apples to Shampoo. To completely different concepts and it’s not an either/or situation.

        Houses don’t stand long on their own. It takes a significant amount of time and money to keep these things from filling up with mold or collapsing.

    It wasn’t even necessarily a bad idea given property growth, but it will be interesting to see what happens if they can’t stop population decline

  cement releases large amounts of CO2 when it is being produced, i.e. when the cement powder is being produced from limestone.

  later, when you mix the cement with water and sand to make concrete, it re-absorbs that CO2. you’ve got it backwards :D
