f the Big Apple is to become the Green Apple, it will have to ban the steel and glass towers that form its signature skyline, according to Mayor Bill de Blasio.

De Blasio, speaking on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” said that city’s most iconic structures – the tall skyscrapers seen from miles away – are the “biggest source of emissions” in New York City. The drastic change, and a switch to only renewable energy within five years, are necessary for Gotham to embrace the Green New Deal, de Blasio said.

Well, the age of skyscrapers on a massive scale is over. Lesser structures out of the city proper are now the market.

We used to put these people in asylums. Now they’re running the country and turned it into an asylum

[SuperLuminal]

Yep! Mud huts will be far more environment-friendly...

To mitigate the problem of the current millions of glass & steel buildings, the government will begin a massive program to train (and then hire as a diversity requirement) Saudi, Iranian, Somali, Yemeni, Minnesota, and Pakistani airline pilots...

No doubt. Proggie ideas are mostly too stupid to even formulate a response to.

all about regression to a ‘simpler, green, economy’ and none of them would last 30 minutes off of concrete.

[GingisK]

Yeah, those wood and stone versions will be just grand.

[DungeonMaster]

The bigger a building the more thermally efficient it is.

[GingisK]

Judging cites by the air, I think that would have a significant impact on the area of cities. They would use up the woodlands.

[Future Snake Eater]

The regressions aren’t for them. Only the unwashed masses.

Are we going back to making buildings from mud and brick?

Sad but all too true

BTW. Thanks for the links

Will LEGOS be the new material that our building will be made out of?

To Greenies: sell your Green New Deal to China. They’re the biggest polluters on Earth, and they’ve produced and used more concrete than the rest of the world combined over the last five years - and concrete production is a major polluter. China is the culprit, not the USA. China is gung-ho on building skyscrapers and cities, more than any other country.

[allwrong57]

Not for red Bill, but his followers believe it too!

[from occupied ga]

YES!! Make skyscrapers out of adobe and straw. Much better and "more efficient" that way.

The only thing that the Green New deal will accomplish in New York City is a name change from The Big Apple to The Rotten Apple.
