I love to see that there is a shift from McMansion to "green" houses. Now people just have to realize that an air filtration system and a rain barrel don't make their house green. I am a little confused about the conflicting nature of your post, though. You had a quote: Experts interviewed for this article were unanimous on one point: collecting green-certified houses into a conventional subdivision on a former farm fi eld at the edge of the metro area would not a green neighborhood make. Beyond that, there was little unanimity." You also mention the misconception about realtors just wanting to build, build, build. Then at the end of your post you write: "Search for homes in Belvedere." Where you trying to contradict yourself to make a point or did I miss something? It seemed like a statement at odds with the message of your post. Interesting post. I love to see that there is a shift from McMansion to “green” houses.
