The houses in the newest community are energy neutral/built to passivhaus standards. That’s quite unusual in the US. And much of their food comes from an on-site farm CSA. And they’ve left 90% of the land relatively wild, which should help preserve biodiversity. They’ve still got cars, but they’re certainly doing better than average.
- whywhywhywhy 5y agoMaybe it's because I'm not American but the idea of a village which is remote but still has access to a town or city via bus or bike is very much a possibility and normal in lots of parts of the world. Cars are nowhere near as essential as American city and suburb planning unfortunately makes it seem like.
