by the way I didn’t mean YOU...I was referring to the person who wrote the article or the ones who try to be “big brother” to the rest of us. Just wanted to be sure you didn’t think I meant you. :)
It would also be nice to wave while passing you in my beautiful black M5 with nobody hogging the left lane...
Oh the horror! We know face the threat of: Nuclear war, terrorism, Ebola, ... and suburban family-raising. These folks are nut-cases. Living a decent life is a bad thing to them.
It has nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with having more family time.
Amen. I moved about a year ago to within 4 miles of where I work because the commute was killing me. I've gained at least 30 hours a week. You can't pay any amount of money for time like that.
However, requiring people to move or some other such silliness is just stupid. Little wonder it is supported by environmental whackos.
ANother factor is environmental laws themselves. The liability that comes along with buying previously used property ( especially that which has been used commerically or industrially) in urban areas requires expensive testing and clean up.
Not that it's so polluted, but the laws are so strict, that even one property owner whose poured something "hydrocarbon" down the drain into a septic tank can throw up a red flag.
SO developers naturally want clean farm land or pasture, located out in the far suburbs.
