e.g. this house, located about 12~13 miles away from downtown Boston, in one of the wealthiest zip codes in the state--this is obviously a *nice* house, but it isn't an environmentally friendly onepic.twitter.com/Gt1GYf3eS7

better than nothing, but won't do anything about the road, lawn, and all the other houses on that street breaking up the ecosystem

Oh yeah lawns should be illegal past a certain water use limit esp in the more dry parts of the country.

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)

Hmm. Yeah that does pose a problem. What other potential land-use sites could be converted into the contiguous zone?
