Common confusion is to think that "environmentalism" has something to do with how many trees are within 1/4 mile of your house, rather than how much energy it takes to keep your house supplied and functionalhttps://twitter.com/ahnqir/status/1036626983046664194 …

rough examples here (red circles in first pic, labels in second) of large-scale and moderate-scale zones, idea is that development priority is on the seams and away from the centerpic.twitter.com/uh8CTSo2NG
-
I only labeled some, but any "bubble" space btw infrastructure corridors would qualify, even if quite small - penalties for new buildings/roads/etc that scale up towards center of zone - rewards & incentives for abandoning buildings/roads/etc that scale up towards center of zone
-
the objective isn't to prohibit *all* use of those zones (parts of them would be available for hunting, logging, and what have you on a rotating basis; people could still live in them if they are grandfathered in or pay the dev penalty) but to set a depop trend there

Good stuff. Could this be former farmland when the meats industry heads towards tissue culture?
-
Skeptical that it will do that en masse, and moreover there are more uses of farmland than just meat (esp in New England)
-
Oh sure, but if there's only 10% of cows to feed, you need less land to grow maize/soy.
-
it's not maize and soy here either--think more like apples, asparagus, tobacco, berries, potatoes, etc etc
-
Hmm. Yeah that does pose a problem. What other potential land-use sites could be converted into the contiguous zone?
