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 …

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.

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
