Wow, way to completely and utterly miss his very simple point, tyty:
Transience of modern life is hard on local communities.

No, no. You're right. I take it back. Small, local communities are completely responsible for all the depredations our transient lifestyles wreak on them. How foolish I was to think otherwise. They should just suck it up and be thankful for the bounty of our glorious economy.

Another article naming Austin as a nice/appealing/positive place to live. Good.

I'm putting this house up for sale in 1.5 years (for The Big Move East), and appreciate this kind of help.

#2, wouldn't you think the greeniest cities would be small rural areas, where people live very modestly, their durable goods last decades and their shorter-term items are used to the bone, they open the windows for cooling and heating, the air is nice and clean, you can literally walk everywhere, they compost, recycle, plant their vegetables, etc?

Sorry about ranting and venting.
