I still don't see how rural solutions apply. How is a dirt road a solution?
Honestly, I think it's hard to even discuss this without first understanding how road maintenance (sounds like this is the majority) adds up to $8000 per home.
- justanotherc 6y agoForget the dirt road. Rural solutions for water/sewage/power work because their viability is not dependent on close geographic proximity. Its apparent that the urban solution being applied to suburban areas is not viable, so why not flip things around the other way?
- netcan 6y agoI think most of the $8k is for roads. Wells (shallow wells certainly) will go dry if an entire suburb is drawing on the spring. Sceptics... With enough houses, someone somewhere will have a stinky one, but these could probably work. I doubt most suburbanites wants one. Power... IMO, we're just not there yet. Maybe close, but even most rural homes use central power. There might be some stuff that can be imported, but without more info it's hard to know what matters.
